Great to meet you!

I am a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and certified addiction registered nurse in advanced practice specializing in the pharmacological treatment of individuals with co-occurring disorders and perinatal mental health challenges. With a dual focus on women's health and addiction medicine, I combine clinical expertise and a patient-centered approach to promote self-efficacy, empowerment, and resilience.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I use empathy and motivational interviewing to help set treatment goals and support recovery.

What you can expect from our first session

Finding a psychiatric prescriber is tough! You want someone who listens, prioritizes your goals, and tailors your care to you. That's why I'm here- to provide a nonjudgmental space, while de-stigmatizing mental health care.

Jessie's style is
Empowering
