You’re looking for someone who is evidence-based and can think outside the box. Right now may be a particularly challenging moment, or you just know things could be better- and you’re ready to explore how.
You want to take the next step with someone who has time, energy, and attention to really get to know you and your life. You are interested in 360-degree therapy and treatment. Wasting your time and energy, skipping from one half-listening practitioner to another sounds terrible and maybe has been a reason why you've delayed seeking help. I don't blame you, it makes sense.
I believe in a holistic & integrative approach to therapy and medicine and their intelligent use to benefit my patients, including non-pharmacological tools (e.g., light therapy, meditation, & supplements). I see only a small number of clients to deliver high-quality attention, deep listening, and detailed care to each. Reach out & I will be happy to speak with you more about how we can work together.

She invites you to join her in a therapeutic alliance focused on cultivating resilience and achieving your mental health goals with unwavering support.
Utilizing basic psychotherapy, I meet clients at their level of need, helping to set and achieve practical goals for treatment. In most cases, I work with your current therapist to provide medication management but also love to utilize more holistic approaches to care. While medication management is my niche, I also love to work with clients who are open to complimentary therapy.
I am a doctorate prepared psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with experience working in forensics, long term care and both inpatient and outpatient mental healthcare. Treatment areas include severe and persistent mental illnesses (SPMIs), anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders and personality disorders.
Humans are complex, so beyond medication management, you can expect to learn more about stress management and coping, nutrition, sleep hygiene, trauma, comorbid disorders and family structure/dynamics.
I invite you to take the next steps towards your mental wellbeing.
“Char'lese's visits feel much more personal than psychiatrists I've seen in the past. I really appreciate that shs took my concerns about my medication seriously, and thay she asked about things that are going on in my life, rather than just going through a list of symptoms.”
