Hi there and thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I am Beth, a dedicated psychiatric nurse practitioner who believes in a holistic treatment approach emphasizing the intricate connection between the mind and body. I graduated with a Master's Degree from East Tennesee State University and have worked as a psychiatric nurse and Nurse Practitioner for over 8 years. I'm from Western North Carolina, where our community experienced significant loss due to Hurricane Helene. I'm hopeful that I can offer support to those affected during this challenging time and extend help to anyone in need of additional care.

Ever feel like you are just barely getting by, drowning in all the to-do's. Feeling like you are just not good enough, will you ever get there? As a society, we have been exceptional at ensuring perfection is the only way to be happy. But who says? Who gets to dictate what perfection is? This is your life. We will all have struggles, loss, grief in our lives, but there are people who care. Depression, anxiety, trauma touches everyone in some way. You deserve to be heard. I strive to listen, hear you, and work together to find your way back to your best life. There is always hope, sometimes you just need help to find it.

The most successful clients are curious about furthering their understanding of reasons for their actions and feelings. Prepare to seek truth, while you are challenged in your perceptions. The foundations of treatment are compassion, trust, education and support, which allow for the development of skills and insights as well as improved self care/health. I also approach problems with a Judeo-Christian moral perspective, as well as teach coping skills and give homework as part of the therapeutic process. I encourage people to question some things, which gives them more power to go for it, whatever it is for them.

Anxiety, depression, and attention problems interfere with our ability to function at home, school, or work, not to mention how they diminish our ability to enjoy life to its fullest. Children, teenagers, and adults can struggle with these issues, families experience significant stress trying to cope, and relationships can falter. Do not lose hope - help is available. With the proper combination of medication management and supportive counseling, significant improvements can be achieved in how we feel, think, and behave such as mood regulation, attention/concentration, sleep, behavior, and decreased anxiety.
