Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Ruth. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a background in nursing and behavioral health, and I am deeply committed to providing compassionate, personalized care. My experience includes inpatient behavioral health, psychiatric nursing, hospice care, and community-based settings, which has given me the opportunity to support people through many different stages of life and healing. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults facing concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, mood disorders, insomnia, stress, and other mental health challenges.

My approach to therapy

My approach to treatment is warm, collaborative, and centered around you as a whole person. I believe the best care happens when you feel safe, heard, and actively involved in the process, so I take time to understand your goals, experiences, and what support looks like for you. I use evidence-based care that may include psychiatric evaluation, medication management, psychoeducation, supportive therapy, and practical lifestyle strategies to help you build stability, resilience, and a better quality of life.

What you can expect from me

In our first sessions, you can expect a welcoming, judgment-free space where we can talk openly about what has been going on and what brought you to care. I will ask about your symptoms, mental health history, medical background, past treatments, daily life, and goals so I can get to know you fully and understand how to best support you. Together, we will begin creating a treatment plan that feels thoughtful, realistic, and tailored to your needs. If you are ready to take the first step toward feeling better, I would be honored to support you.
