Hi, I'm so glad you're here. I’m Sydney. I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner providing telehealth to adults (19+) across Virginia. At this time, I am accepting patients for medication management only. My goal, however, is never to just write a prescription and send you on your way. My goal is to be a long-term partner in helping you achieve a life that feels meaningful and manageable. I view medication as one valuable tool among many. I blend the best of both medication and evidence-based interventions to create a treatment plan that’s as unique as you are. I respect you as a whole person, and that's how we'll approach your care.
• Depression, anxiety, including panic attacks and social anxiety, OCD, PTSD, borderline personality disorder, & binge eating disorder. • Adult ADHD assessment • GeneSight pharmacogenomic testing • Perinatal mental health during pregnancy and postpartum • Adult autism spectrum disorder screening • Affirming care for LGBTQIA+ & neurodivergent adults
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. You are not a diagnosis or a checklist. I offer a deeply personal, inclusive, and collaborative approach to care. I strive to create a space where all parts of you are welcome. I believe healing happens in relationship, and I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience to support you in that process.

After 10 years as a psychiatric NP across residential, intensive outpatient, and community settings, I know true healing starts with being truly seen. I bring clinical expertise and confidence to our sessions, but my primary focus is offering a supportive space where you can feel heard.

A note on fit: Your safety is my highest priority. Conditions such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, active substance use disorders, and anorexia/bulimia, as well as symptoms such as aggression or self-harm requiring crisis support, typically need a level of monitoring and resources beyond what my practice can provide.

While I'm not currently accepting therapy-only patients, I integrate therapeutic interventions and psychotherapy into many medication management appointments. This includes solution-oriented and supportive counseling, collaborative goal-setting, and practical strategies to change patterns that aren't working.
