Great to meet you!

Hello, I'm Mindy. I'm a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with 16 years of clinical experience. My path has included military service, community health work in rural Morocco, and care across many settings, from intensive care to hospice. These experiences shape how I show up: with warmth, curiosity, cultural humility, and respect for everyone's story. I treat the whole person, not just the diagnosis.

That means taking time to dig into your history, what has worked, what has not, and what you actually want from your care. Whether that is medication management or medication management with therapy, we figure it out together.

I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, bipolar disorder, and life transitions including loss, chronic illness, major life changes, and times when you just cannot name what is wrong yet.

My approach to therapy

I offer integrated care, with medication management and therapy in the same visit, with the same provider who knows your whole story. My approach is unhurried, collaborative, and grounded in listening. I believe lasting change happens when we work together to understand what's going on in your life right now, what you're carrying, and what kind of support actually fits. Whether that means medication, therapy skills, or both, we'll decide together.

What you can expect from me

Our first meeting is about understanding the full picture, not just symptoms, but what's been happening in your life, what you've already tried, and what you're hoping for. I'll ask about your medical and mental health history, your family, your goals, and any concerns you have about medication or therapy. We'll take our time. By the end, we'll have a starting plan that feels right for you, with room to adjust as we get to know each other better.
