Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Ree — a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Perinatal Mental Health Specialist with over 10 years of experience in behavioral health. I’ve always felt called to this work. I’m the person who listens deeply, holds space without judgment, and stands by those who feel alone.

I’ve worked in nearly every setting you can imagine: correctional facilities, crisis centers, inpatient units, detox and recovery programs, and outpatient care. I’ve supported both teens and adults facing anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorders, substance use, schizophrenia, psychosis, and more.

Supporting perinatal and postpartum mental health is especially close to my heart. I’m here to help individuals navigate pregnancy, childbirth, and the journey into parenthood — especially when things get tough.

Above all, I strive to make mental health care safe, warm, and human. If you’re seeking someone who truly listens and meets you where you are, you’re in the right place. My approach is rooted in genuine connection, and my mission is to create a safe space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to heal.

My approach to therapy

My approach to care is rooted in creating a safe, affirming environment where you feel genuinely seen and heard. I meet each person with warmth, respect, and curiosity, focusing on building a foundation of trust from our very first conversation. I believe healing begins when you have space to share your story and explore your experiences without judgment. My practice blends clinical expertise with a welcoming, down-to-earth presence, so you always have someone in your corner who is dedicated to your well being.

What you can expect from me

During your first appointment, you can expect a compassionate, supportive setting where your comfort and privacy are prioritized. We'll spend time discussing your mental health history, current concerns, medications and goals for care—all at a pace that works for you. I’ll listen deeply and answer any questions you may have, working collaboratively to develop a plan
