Hi, I’m Debra, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over six years of experience in mental health care. I’m passionate about helping people feel better and live more balanced lives. I believe care should be compassionate, respectful, and tailored to each person’s unique background and values. For me, mental health care is a partnership—we work together to build trust, understanding, and a path toward feeling well.
When you work with me, you can expect a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can be yourself. I take the time to really listen and understand what you’re going through. I combine medication management with therapy approaches like CBT and insight-oriented work, depending on what fits you best.
We’ll start by getting to know you - your experiences, concerns, and what you hope to achieve. From there, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan together that may include therapy, medication, or both. I’ll guide you through your options so you can make informed decisions that feel right for you.
