I'm Anissa, a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specializing in the evaluation and treatment of ADHD and other co-existing conditions.

When you work with me you get care that is calm, attentive, and centered on you.

Who I Work With:

I support individuals who are struggling with poor performance at work/school, anxious thoughts, panic attacks, depressed mood, occupational burnout, and other related conditions.

You're in the right place if:

✓ You're constantly overwhelmed or stressed about upcoming events or tasks needing to be completed

✓ You've been working harder to keep up but you feel like you're failing and burning out

✓ You suspect you have ADHD and need an evaluation, or you've been told you don't have ADHD and would like a second opinion

✓ You need help getting school or workplace accommodations or a leave of absence due to mental stress

✓ Past providers rushed you or didn't listen to your concerns
