Hey there, I'm Janie! I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who believes that taking care of your mind doesn’t have to feel clinical, cold, or intimidating. Mental health is serious, but connecting with your provider doesn’t have to be. I bring a warm, grounded presence to help make healing feel a little lighter. I don’t believe in rushing to label your experience. You are more than a diagnosis. You are a whole person with a story, a history, and strengths worth honoring. I take time to genuinely understand what you’re going through before we make any decisions together.

Many of the clients I support have a desire to dig deeper and explore root causes of their symptoms and are seeking a more holistic treatment. Many struggle with anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, and insomnia, and issues related to female hormone imbalances (such as PMS, PMDD, irregular cycles, or menstrual-related mood changes). Additionally, they may have been told "everything looks normal" on lab work but still don't feel well—and they’re seeking a more integrative, whole-person approach that addresses physical, emotional, and lifestyle components.

FAQ - In Person Psychiatrists
What are the advantages of in-person psychiatry?
Psychiatrists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions, often using a combination of therapy and medication. For many individuals, working with a psychiatrist who offers accessible and consistent in-person care is an important part of building a strong and effective therapeutic relationship. While remote care has become more widely available, in-person psychiatry offers several unique advantages. Face-to-face sessions can help foster a deeper sense of connection and trust, particularly during the early stages of treatment. In-person visits may also be more appropriate for young children, individuals who benefit from a structured clinical environment, or those with complex mental health needs requiring close observation and coordination of care. Many patients also find that meeting in a dedicated office space—free from the distractions of home—helps them stay focused and engaged during sessions.
How can I find a psychiatrist who offers in-person services?
Psychology Today's online directory is a valuable resource for finding psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who provide in-person services. As you explore your options, consider each provider's clinical expertise, therapeutic style, and office location to ensure their services are a good fit and easily accessible for you.
