My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, understood, and supported. I believe mental wellness is an essential part of overall health, and that healing begins by moving from survival to thriving through nervous system regulation, processing past experiences, and strengthening the mind-body connection. Meaningful change and healing happens within a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, authenticity, and collaboration. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, addiction, performance anxiety, work-related stress... or simply feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, we'll work together to build insight, process difficult experiences when appropriate, develop practical coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Hi, I’m Lina, and I’m an ANCC Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner specializing in mental health concerns across folks of all ages. My experience in psychiatry began years ago in the inpatient setting, where I worked with individuals facing a wide range of challenges, from mild concerns to more complex and severe symptoms. Over time, my training in psychotherapy and medication management has allowed me to support clients dealing with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD, schizophrenia, PTSD, substance use, and ADHD.
