Holistic Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner — Medication Management, Nutrition & Mind-Body Support As a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Adult Nurse Practitioner with over 32 years of clinical experience, I provide compassionate, thoughtful, and holistic mental health care for adults. I believe healing happens through genuine connection, attentive listening, and honoring the powerful relationship between mind and body. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or feeling out of balance, I offer a safe and supportive space to help you regain clarity, stability, and wellbeing. ABOUT MY PRACTICE At Tidal Rhythm Wellness, I combine evidence-based psychiatric care with a whole-person approach. I offer medication management along with personalized guidance on nutrition, lifestyle, and targeted supplements to support mental and physical health. My goal is not just symptom relief, but helping you achieve long-term balance and improved quality of life. Clients often tell me they feel genuinely heard for the first time. I take the time to understand your experiences, collaborate on treatment decisions, and create a plan that fits your needs—not a one-size-fits-all model. MY TREATMENT APPROACH • Holistic & integrative — addressing mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing • Collaborative — you are an active partner in every decision • Gentle, thoughtful prescribing — using the lowest effective dose and avoiding unnecessary medications • Trauma-informed & supportive • Mind-body focused — nutrition, gut health, supplements, and lifestyle strategies integrated when appropriate I welcome individuals seeking both traditional psychiatric treatment and those interested in a more natural, whole-body style of care.
