Great to meet you!

My name is Nicole, but most of my patients call me Nikki. I have over 15+ years experience as a nurse working in various departments, working hands on with patients, as well as leadership and management roles. I am a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with a master's of nursing degree in education. Helping educate my patients, their support systems, and my colleagues, helps navigate and understand the current diagnoses and how to find the best treatment plans to reach optimal results. I see patients of all ages, from diagnostic screening, to medication management, and talk therapy. As we navigate your background, we can work together towards better health and wellness.
