Welcome! As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I believe that prioritizing mental health is one of the most important investments you can make in your overall well-being, happiness, and quality of life. Taking the first step to seek help can be difficult, so I want to commend you for being here.

I bring over 20 years of healthcare experience, including 18 years working as a nurse in mental health and substance use treatment and the past 3 years as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. My practice focuses primarily on psychiatric evaluation and medication management, helping individuals find safe, effective treatment options tailored to their unique needs and goals.

I specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD, anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders. I understand that finding the right medication can sometimes feel overwhelming, and I work closely with my patients to develop personalized treatment plans, monitor progress, manage side effects, and make thoughtful adjustments along the way. My goal is to help you achieve meaningful symptom improvement while optimizing your overall quality of life.

In addition to my psychiatric training, I am an IAPAM Certified Weight Management Provider and a Certified Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Provider. This additional expertise allows me to recognize the important connection between mental health, physical health, sleep, hormones, and overall wellness, ensuring a comprehensive approach to care when appropriate.

My goal is to help you gain symptom relief, improve daily functioning, and develop a sustainable path toward long-term emotional wellness and stability.

A combination of lived experiences, years of training, and witnessing the lack of comprehensive and inclusive sexual education has centered my clinical priorities on LGBTQ+ clients and clients working through sexual health matters (including sexual exploration, gender and sexuality, non-monogamy, and healing from sexual trauma).

If you're carrying anxiety that won't quiet down, grief that feels impossible to move through, or a weight that makes everyday life feel harder than it should, you're in the right place. I work with adults and people across all stages of life who are ready to feel more like themselves again. My approach is grounded in warmth and a deep belief that you are the expert on your own life. There's no judgment here, only a supportive space where you can say what you've been holding back.

They say you can’t choose your family, but you can choose your therapist, and I promise I’m a much better listener than your Uncle Chip. I’m Matt, and I’ve spent the last ten years helping people navigate the 'plot twists' of life. With a master's degree from Catholic University and a specialty in anxiety, relationships, and life adjustments, I’ve learned that while I can't wave a magic wand to fix your problems, I’m excellent at helping you find where you dropped yours. Let's get to work... no promises there won't be more metaphors down the road though.
