Hi, I’m Bettina. As a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner my goal is to provide more tools to put in your tool box on your path to wellness.

As your provider, we can explore what will work for you and your body/mind. I have 13 years of nursing experience at various psychiatric facilities in Baltimore. I have primarily worked in the inpatient setting allowing me to gain extensive experience treating mood disorders, psychosis, addiction, trauma and anxiety disorders. I strive to be consistently empathetic and actively listen to each of my patients in order to create a relationship that embraces safety and trust.

I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner in Maryland with a background in both medication management and therapy — and I believe the best care happens when we tailor it to you. I specialize in anxiety, ADHD, and depression, and I work with patients who want a provider who actually listens before deciding anything. Many of the people I see found me through their community — they wanted someone they could trust, who'd take the time to get to know them. My approach is warm and direct: I'll tell you exactly what I'm thinking and make sure every session reflects where you are right now.
