Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Seva, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management for adults. I specialize in ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, mood disorders, trauma-related concerns, sleep difficulties, and women’s mental health.

Before becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I worked on the front lines throughout the COVID-19 pandemic in med-surg, the ICU, and the emergency room. During that time, I witnessed firsthand the profound impact that trauma, loss, uncertainty, and chronic stress can have on a person’s mental and physical well-being. Those experiences shaped both who I am as a clinician and the way I practice today.

I approach psychiatric care by looking beyond a diagnosis or a medication. I take time to understand your symptoms, medical and psychiatric history, life experiences, relationships, stressors, and the circumstances that may be contributing to how you feel. My approach is collaborative, evidence-based, and individualized, with the goal of finding a treatment plan that is both effective and realistic for your life.

Whether you’re seeking psychiatric care for the first time, wondering if you may have ADHD or another condition, struggling despite your current treatment, or simply looking for a provider who will take the time to listen, my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and actively involved in your care

My approach to therapy

I approach care with curiosity, collaboration, and compassion. I believe treatment should never be one-size-fits-all, so I take time to understand who you are beyond a diagnosis and what may be contributing to your symptoms.

My approach combines evidence-based medication management with supportive, thoughtful dialogue. I don’t rush decisions, and I want you to understand your options and feel actively involved in your treatment.

I often work with people who appear high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or emotionally exhausted underneath. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and never judged while we work toward a treatment plan that genuinely fits you.

What you can expect from me

Your first appointment is typically 60 minutes, giving us time to discuss what brought you to care, your symptoms, history, previous treatments, and what you hope to achieve. My approach is collaborative, I don’t simply prescribe and move on. We’ll look at the bigger picture, explore patterns and contributing factors, and work together to create a treatment plan that feels purposeful and individualized to you.

Follow-up appointments are typically 20–30 minutes and focus on your progress, response to treatment, and any adjustments that may be needed.

If you’re not quite ready to schedule or would like to see if we’re a good fit first, I’m happy to offer a complimentary 10–15 minute phone consultation. Please email me at [email protected] to arrange one.
