Hi, I’m Meredith, a dual board-certified Family & Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Sedona Med. I work with adults who want to understand the bigger picture behind how they feel—not simply leave with another prescription. Many of my patients are women navigating anxiety, overwhelm, ADHD symptoms, sleep changes, burnout, or changes during midlife. They’re looking for thoughtful care that considers mental health alongside nutrition, hormones, stress, sleep, medical conditions, and lifestyle
I combine evidence-based psychiatric care with an integrative, whole-person approach. Depending on your needs, we may explore medication, nutrition, sleep, lifestyle, stress regulation, relevant labs, and other factors affecting how you feel. The goal is a practical, personalized plan—not more treatment simply for the sake of treatment.
You deserve time to ask questions, understand your options, and be part of the decisions about your care. I work best with people who are curious, engaged, and ready to take an active role in feeling better. If you’re looking for thoughtful care that goes beyond symptom management, we may be a great fit.
