I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to making high-quality mental health care accessible to everyone, especially individuals in underserved and rural communities. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of caring for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults in homes, assisted living facilities, group homes, and through telehealth.

I believe mental health care should be compassionate, collaborative, and free of judgment. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief, or another mental health concern, we’ll work together to build a treatment plan that fits your life, not someone else’s.

I combine evidence-based medicine with a whole-person approach, recognizing that sleep, stress, relationships, physical health, and daily habits all play an important role in emotional well-being. My priority is helping you feel better while empowering you with the tools to thrive long after our appointments.

You may feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained, unsure why things feel harder than they used to. Maybe your thoughts won’t slow down at night, your mood shifts more than you’d like, or daily responsibilities feel heavier than before. You might feel frustrated trying to manage it all on your own, wondering if things will ever feel easier.

At Journi Alignment Mental Health, I help adults and older adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and mood disorders move toward emotional balance through personalized psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and ongoing support, offered via telehealth or in an outpatient clinic setting.

When you meet with me, you’ll find a calm, welcoming space where your concerns are heard without judgment. I take time to listen and understand your story, symptoms, and goals. Together, we create a personalized plan that may include thoughtful psychiatric evaluation, medication management when appropriate, and practical strategies to help you feel more stable and confident in your daily life. My approach is collaborative, you are always part of the decision-making process.

Over time, many clients begin to feel more balanced, more rested, and more in control of their emotions and routines. Imagine sleeping better, feeling less anxious, and having the energy to reconnect with the people and activities that matter most. My goal is to help you regain clarity, confidence, and peace as you move forward in your mental health journey.

Find the right psychiatrist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Fort Myers

Finding the right psychiatrists in Fort Myers starts with understanding the type of care they provide. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage ongoing medication plans. Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners may also provide medication management. Therapists provide talk therapy and can be a strong fit for support with concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Many people start with either a therapist or a prescriber based on what they want help with now.

In a smaller market like Fort Myers, local psychiatric availability may vary across nearby areas like Cape Coral, Lehigh Acres, and other parts of Lee County. Virtual appointments can expand your options while keeping care easier to fit into your schedule. Psychiatric medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare profiles, look for availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, appointment format, and listed experience with your specific concerns.

Psychiatric care in Fort Myers can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find psychiatrists and other prescribing clinicians who match your preferences and are accepting new patients, and lets you check whether they accept your plan. You can enter your insurance details, see an estimated session cost before booking, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
