Hi, I’m Amber, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP).
You want someone who listens, who takes your struggles seriously, and who knows that mental health isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why I combine evidence-based care with a compassionate, personalized approach.
My goal is to help you not just manage symptoms, but truly improve your quality of life—so you can show up as your best self for your family, your career, and most importantly, for you...
I specialize in mood disorders (including depression and bipolar disorder), anxiety (generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety), and trauma-related conditions including PTSD. I am deeply committed to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health — and I understand firsthand how shame and silence can stand in the way of healing and daily functioning. Outside of work, I'm a parent who enjoys going to the pool and playing board games with my children, which keeps me grounded in the everyday joys that matter most.
I chose to practice as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner because I am passionate about helping individuals improve their mental health and overall quality of life. Mental health challenges can significantly affect every aspect of a person’s well-being, relationships, and daily functioning, and I believe compassionate, patient-centered care can make a meaningful difference.
I believe that true healing begins when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. As a dual-board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner with over 25 years of healthcare experience, my passion is delivering compassionate, individualized care that treats you as a whole person—not just a list of symptoms.
Mental health challenges like ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and OCD can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate them alone. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in deep empathy. Together, we will combine evidence-based treatments with a personalized plan tailored specifically to your unique life, goals, and well-being. My focus is to help you build resilience, gain clarity, and walk away with practical tools for lasting, meaningful progress. Let’s work together to empower your total well-being.

Frequently asked questions
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 Kissimmee
Finding the right psychiatrist in Kissimmee starts with knowing what kind of mental health care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication as part of care. Therapists focus on talk therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. If you’re looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach before booking.
In a smaller city like Kissimmee, local psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger Florida markets. Virtual appointments can expand your choices while still letting you find a psychiatrist in Kissimmee, FL, who fits your schedule and preferences. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare profiles, look at appointment availability, whether a free phone consultation is offered, and how each psychiatrist describes their communication style.
Psychiatric care in Kissimmee can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway makes it easier to find psychiatrists in Kissimmee who are accepting new patients, match your preferences, and take your plan. Enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs, review psychiatrist 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.
