Practice Setting
An integrative outpatient behavioral health clinic offering psychiatric mental health services with a holistic lens. The practice is led by a double-board-certified family and psychiatric nurse practitioner, and provides services to adolescents and adults experiencing a range of mental health conditions including anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, mood disorders, and stress-related conditions.
The practice integrates traditional psychiatric services—such as comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and psychopharmacological management—with complementary wellness modalities including nutritional psychiatry, trauma-informed care, functional medicine, and lifestyle interventions. This whole-person model supports emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being and offers a well-rounded learning environment for advanced practice nursing students.
