Hi, I’m Angela David, a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I provide thoughtful, personalized mental health care focused on real, lasting change—not just symptom management.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and life transitions for teenagers, college students and adults. My approach combines medication management with practical therapy tools, so you leave sessions with strategies you can actually use in daily life.

Patients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or burned out. Together, we work to understand patterns, build coping skills, and create a plan that feels manageable and effective.

I strive to create a space where you can be honest, feel understood, and make meaningful progress at your own pace. I take time to truly listen and understand your experiences, history, and goals. Together, we’ll determine whether medication, therapy, or a combination of both is right for you, and we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable and manageable. Treatment is always personalized, with careful attention to effectiveness, side effects, and your overall well-being.

My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and partnership. You are an active participant in your care, and your voice matters in every decision. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered throughout your healing journey.

I’m honored to support you as we work toward greater balance, resilience, and emotional well-being. I look forward to meeting you and walking alongside you as you take this important step toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Are you ready to tackle obstacles and improve your quality of life? Are you struggling with stress, anxiety, depression or ADHD? Do you find it difficult to function in school, at work or to complete tasks at home? Do you feel like other people don’t quite understand you? As I have experienced these struggles myself, know that you are not alone.

As a board-certified psychiatrist who specializes in providing medication management and psychotherapy to all ages, I believe that prioritizing mental health is the key to unlocking happiness and stability in life.

I believe in a compassionate, patient-centered approach to care. When working with patients, I start by listening carefully to their concerns and goals. Together, we will create a treatment plan that may include therapy, medication, or lifestyle strategies tailored to individual needs. I emphasize open communication, respect, and education so patients feel informed and empowered in their mental health journey.

I am a warm, open-minded, and compassionate clinician who values collaboration and respect in every session. I provide both talk therapy and medication management, tailoring care to each person’s unique needs and goals. My approach combines evidence-based techniques with a supportive, client-centered style, helping you navigate challenges while building resilience, personal strengths, and a sense of meaning in your life.

I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly, ask questions about treatment, and feel empowered to make choices that support your mental health. Whether you’re seeking therapy, medication support, or both, I partner with you to develop a plan that works for your life, pace, and values.
