    Herbal

    Psychiatric Care

    You'll receive a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, followed by an individualized herbal treatment plan designed specifically for your mind, your body, and your life stage. Every botanical recommendation is evidence-informed, custom formulated, carefully dosed, and closely monitored. Your herbal medicine prescription is filled by a compounding pharmacy and mailed to your home.

    Integrated Medication Management

    Because I'm a fully licensed psychiatric nurse practitioner, I can prescribe conventional psychiatric medication whenever it's clinically needed as a complement to herbal medicine, as a bridge during transitions, or as a standalone treatment. You'll never be sent elsewhere for a prescription. Your complete psychiatric care stays under one roof.

    Culinary Art Therapy

    Healing doesn't only happen in a therapy chair. In our therapeutic cooking sessions, women come together to cook, create, and connect. Our signature 12-week "Nourish" group program uses cooking as vehicles for emotional processing, self-discovery, and community.

    This Practice Was Built for You If...

    Services are delivered through secure virtual care in MD, DC, FL, NV, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
    • You're a woman struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, PMDD, perimenopausal mood changes, postpartum mood disorders, or chronic stress
    • You want a mental health provider who understands both psychiatry and plant medicine
    • You've been curious about herbal alternatives but want a clinician who can also prescribe medication if needed so you never fall through the cracks
    • You're currently on psychiatric medication and want to explore herbal alternatives with a provider who can safely guide the transition
    • You want the flexibility of a treatment plan that can move between botanical and pharmaceutical approaches as your needs change
    • You believe that how you nourish yourself matters as much as what's on your treatment plan
    • You're craving community, creativity, and a deeper connection to your healing
    • You're done feeling like a diagnosis and ready to feel like a whole person

  • Why This Practice Is Different

    Most holistic practitioners can't prescribe medication.
    Most psychiatric prescribers are not trained in botanical medicine.
    I'm both.

    That means:
    - If herbs are enough, beautiful. We go deep with plants, food, and healing.
    - If you need medication, I prescribe it myself. No referral. No waiting. No starting over.
    -If you want both, I create an integrated plan and monitor everything together, screening for interactions and optimizing both modalities.
    -If you want to discontinue medication, I guide the taper while building your botanical foundation, so you're never left without support.

    This is truly integrative care. Not either/or, but the full spectrum, in one trusted relationship.

  • Meet Your Nurse Practitioner



    I'm a Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and a Board-Certified Advanced Practice Holistic Nurse. I built this practice because I believe women deserve mental health care that honors the wisdom of the body, the power of plants, and the medicine of the table.
