Great to meet you!

Reclaiming control of your life is possible with the right tools, support team, and treatment plan.

Hi, I’m Lina, and I’m an ANCC Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner specializing in mental health concerns across folks of all ages. My experience in psychiatry began years ago in the inpatient setting, where I worked with individuals facing a wide range of challenges, from mild concerns to more complex and severe symptoms. Over time, my training in psychotherapy and medication management has allowed me to support clients dealing with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD, schizophrenia, PTSD, substance use, and ADHD.

My approach to therapy

I believe treatment works best when it feels collaborative, personalized, and grounded in trust. I work closely with each client to build a plan that may include medication management, psychotherapy, lifestyle changes, lab monitoring, and practical tools that support long-term progress. I also value client autonomy, strength-building, and creating space for a little laughter along the way, because healing does not have to feel heavy all the time.

What you can expect from me

In our first sessions, you can expect a warm, supportive space where I take the time to get to know you, understand your concerns, and learn what you hope to gain from treatment. We will talk through your symptoms, history, strengths, and goals so we can begin creating a plan that feels realistic and helpful for your life. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and confident that we are building a path forward together.
