Welcome to Nesting Minds Psychiatry Psychiatry

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of healthcare experience. I feel honored that patients trust me with their care, and I strive to create a warm, approachable, and collaborative environment where you can feel safe and understood. 

My approach is comprehensive and personalized—combining education, medication management, therapeutic tools, and lifestyle changes tailored to your needs. I take a conservative approach to prescribing medication, focusing on helping you feel like yourself—not “medicated.” Together, we develop a treatment plan that fits your unique journey, with no pressure and plenty of support. 

I truly believe that medication works best when paired with therapy, and I’m happy to collaborate with your therapist to make sure we’re all working together toward your goals and giving you the best care possible.  

I am also on my own mental health journey and deeply understand the importance of feeling truly heard and validated. My goal is for you to feel empowered and actively involved in your care every step of the way. 

I’m a Texas transplant from Chicagoland (here for the food and warm winters!) who loves spending time with my two dogs, cherishes quality moments with family, and enjoys music, reading, travel, podcasts, and, of course, Diet Coke!
