Great to meet you!

I'm Sherri, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner passionate about providing integrated care for complex mental health challenges, including personality disorders, PTSD and trauma, schizophrenia and psychosis disorders, substance use disorders, ADHD, depression, anxiety, panic disorders, mood disorders, and bipolar conditions. My practice recognizes these conditions are interconnected in ways requiring specialized understanding.

I chose these specializations because I understand how trauma influences personality development, how ADHD complicates substance use recovery, how psychotic symptoms emerge during extreme stress, and how these complex interactions require providers who see the complete picture. Whether you're in recovery while managing other conditions, dealing with personality patterns that developed as survival mechanisms, or navigating multiple diagnoses, I bring the expertise needed for comprehensive care.

My approach emphasizes evidence-based treatments combined with the healing power of being truly understood. I integrate medication management with therapeutic interventions tailored to your unique presentation. I recognize that seeking help for stigmatized conditions like personality disorders or psychosis takes tremendous courage, especially after negative experiences with providers. I create a therapeutic space where you can explore your experiences without judgment or shame, and where your insights about your own mental health are valued.

Expect thorough assessment, personalized treatment planning, and consistent support throughout our work together. I'm focused on helping you build resilience, develop effective coping strategies, and create a fulfilling life that honors your goals and values.

I offer both in-person and telehealth appointments to meet your scheduling needs and provide accessible, quality psychiatric care.

My approach to therapy

Every person is entitled to exceptional, compassionate mental health care that honors their dignity and helps them flourish. My practice rests on authentic connection, medical expertise, and profound respect for your autonomy and life experience. I deliberately build a partnership in which you feel understood, supported, and empowered to lead, because the relationship we form can itself spark meaningful change. You will never be rushed, and we will move forward at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

I take an integrative, whole-person approach that treats mind, body, and spirit as one. This means looking beyond symptoms to understand how your physical health, relationships, work, daily habits, and sense of purpose shape how you feel. I stay current with advances in psychiatric medicine, and I place equal value on the insight that comes from genuinely getting to know you. No two people are alike, and your care will always reflect the full complexity of who you are.

As we plan your treatment, I offer recommendations grounded in expertise while fully respecting your right to decide what is best for you. I walk through each option thoroughly, speak candidly about potential benefits and risks, and support the choices you make. I am skilled in medication management and prescribe when it is clinically warranted, and I am equally dedicated to lifestyle adjustments and practical skill-building that promote lasting wellness.

I bring humility and curiosity to my work, recognizing that learning never truly ends. Your questions are always encouraged, and I genuinely value your perspective on what fits you best.

My role is to provide knowledgeable, compassionate guidance as you move toward recovery and the life you deserve. Supporting your well-being is not simply my profession; it is my calling, and it is a privilege to stand beside you as you reclaim your health, your hope, and your sense of self.

What you can expect from me

Starting with our very first visit, my aim is to build an authentic partnership rooted in true connection, medical expertise, and profound respect for your independence and personal experience. I believe the relationship we develop can spark meaningful change, so I deliberately create a setting where you feel listened to, supported, and empowered to take part in your own care. You can open up at your own speed, and there is no wrong place to begin.

In this first visit, I take an integrative, whole-person approach that treats mind, body, and spirit as one. We will look past psychiatric symptoms to understand how your physical health, relationships, job pressures, daily routines, and sense of purpose all influence how you feel. I keep up with advances in psychiatric medicine, and I value just as much the understanding that comes from taking time to get to know you well.

As we build your plan, I offer recommendations grounded in experience while honoring your right to make your own decisions about your care. I will go through each option carefully with you, speak candidly about likely benefits and risks, and stand behind the choices you make. I am skilled in medication management and prescribe when it is clinically warranted, and I am equally devoted to exploring lifestyle adjustments and practical strategies that support lasting well-being.

I approach this work with humility and curiosity, knowing that no one has every answer and that my own learning is ongoing. Your questions are always welcome, and I truly value your sense of what suits you best. As you learn what helps most, we will refine our plan together.

Most of all, I want you to know that emotional challenges are real, legitimate, and very treatable, and you never have to face them alone. You will leave our first visit with clear, practical next steps and the assurance that you have a committed partner in your care.
