You've tried therapy. You've taken the medication. You still don't feel like yourself - and you're tired of being told everything looks "normal." I work with teens and adults who appear high functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, and emotionally exhausted underneath. I specialize in complex cases where anxiety, ADHD, trauma, depression, or burnout overlap - people who've felt unheard, over-medicated, or rushed through surface-level care. My team and I go beyond quick fixes to help you understand what's really going on and move toward lasting change. Fully telehealth across Washington.
I'm a Board-Certified Psychiatric NP trained in functional medicine, offering 60–90 min evaluations, medication management, pharmacogenetic testing, and ADHD evaluation and treatment for teens and adults - all via telehealth. I go beyond symptom management to find root causes, so you feel more balanced, supported, and connected again.
You don't have to keep carrying everything on your own, or keep starting over with providers who don't know your story. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unlike yourself lately, support is available. Healing begins with feeling truly heard in a safe, compassionate space. When you're ready, I'd be honored to be your next step. Let's talk about it.
