I have always enjoyed working with people. I have both a bachelors and master's in clinical social work. My experience over the past 30years includes working with grief, anxiety, depression, addiction/ recovery. I enjoy working with the military both active duty and veterans as I understand the military culture. You are not a diagnosis to me, but someone who has strengths that need to be bought to the surface.

Hello, I am a board-certified psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing telehealth mental health care for adults and elderly. I have 13 years of experience inpatient/outpatient working with individuals experiencing mental health crisis such as Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Bipolar d/o (mood changes), Psychotic disorders (thought changes), OCD, and PTSD, post- partum depression, stress and life transitions. I know that starting treatment can feel intimidating, so I focus on creating a comfortable, supportive, and non- judgmental space where you can talk openly about your concerns.

I believe mental health care should be personalized. Everyone’s experience is different, and I take time to listen and understand what you are going through before recommending treatment. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and confident in your care.

Great to meet you! My name is Stella, and I provide both medication management and individual therapy using CBT to support people navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, OCD, PTSD, anger, and stress. I work with individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life, and my goal is to help you feel more balanced, in control, and supported.

I’ve spent the last 16 years working in an inpatient psychiatric setting, which has given me a deep understanding of how mental health challenges can impact daily life. I’ve worked with people at all stages of their journey, and I bring that experience into a space that feels warm, open-minded, and solution-oriented.

I know reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to meet you where you are and support you every step of the way.
