Yarvarious Lane

I’m a dual-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) with more than 28 years of healthcare experience. I have a special interest in women’s mental health, including the emotional and mental health changes that can occur during perimenopause and menopause.

If you’re experiencing anxiety, changes in mood, difficulty sleeping, problems with concentration, irritability, or simply don’t feel like yourself, you deserve a space where your concerns are heard and taken seriously. My dual background in psychiatric and family practice allows me to consider both your mental health and your overall health when developing your treatment plan.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and solution-focused. I meet you where you are and work with you toward feeling more like yourself again.

I believe mental health treatment should be individualized and should extend beyond simply prescribing medication. When medication is appropriate, we’ll discuss your options together, including the potential benefits, risks, and your preferences.

For women navigating perimenopause or menopause, I recognize that changes in mood, anxiety, sleep, concentration, and emotional well-being can be complex. I take the time to understand the whole picture rather than focusing on one symptom.

I also strongly encourage psychotherapy when appropriate because medication is often only one part of achieving lasting emotional wellness. My goal is to actively partner with you to create a treatment plan that supports both your mental health and your quality of life.

Your first appointment is a conversation about you—not just a list of symptoms. We’ll discuss what you’ve been experiencing, your mental and physical health history, medications, sleep, stressors, and the changes you’ve noticed in yourself.

For women experiencing perimenopause or menopause, we can also explore how this stage of life may be affecting your mood and emotional well-being.

You can expect a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you have time to ask questions and express your concerns. Together, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan and discuss your next steps. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and hopeful about moving forward.
