If your child or teen is struggling with anxiety, big emotions, identity, or trauma, and you're trying to figure out who the right person to trust is, that instinct to be careful matters. I'm Sheridan, and I've spent 15 years working alongside young people and their families, mostly in school settings, where I learned to meet kids exactly where they are. I work with children, tweens, and teens. A few things your family should know about me: I'm an artist (painting, pottery, printmaking), I have a big snuggly dog, and I genuinely love to laugh. Families often describe me as warm and calm, with a real ability to attune. I also offer affirming, experienced support for LGBTQIA+ young people and teens exploring gender identity.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who provides compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care for adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, life transitions, and mood-related concerns. My goal is to create a safe, respectful space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported.

I take a personalized approach to care, recognizing that mental health is influenced by many factors, including life experiences, relationships, work stress, sleep, physical health, and daily functioning. I work collaboratively with clients to better understand their symptoms, identify treatment goals, and develop a plan that supports stability, clarity, and improved quality of life.
