Hi, I'm Dionne, a psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, anger management, and cultural and ethnic issues. I work primarily with adults and seniors, and I believe that the foundation of good care starts with truly being heard. From our very first appointment, my goal is to make sure you feel comfortable, respected, and understood - no matter what you're walking in with.

With a background in behavioral health administration and years of experience leading programs for adults navigating serious mental health challenges, I bring a deep, practical understanding of how care works and what people truly need.

I am approachable and I like to provide a safe space.
