Hello, I’m Adedayo, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of healthcare experience including experienced across medical-surgical, skilled nursing, inpatient psychiatric care, and addiction medicine settings. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Massachusetts Boston and my Master’s degree in Psychiatric Mental Health from South College in Tennessee.
I specialize in treating adults ages 18–65 experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, bipolar disorder, substance use concerns, and other chronic mental health conditions. I have a strong passion for supporting individuals navigating life transitions, trauma, and emotional overwhelm. My approach integrates comprehensive psychiatric assessment, personalized medication management, and brief therapeutic interventions to provide holistic, evidence-based care.
I believe mental health treatment should feel collaborative, respectful, and empowering. My goal is to create a safe, stigma-free space where you feel heard and supported. I value shared decision-making, open communication, and individualized care plans that reflect your unique needs and strengths.
Above all, I am committed to helping you build resilience, restore balance, and move toward a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

With over ten years of experience, I believe that therapy works best when you feel seen, heard, and comfortable being yourself. My approach is person-centered, which means I tailor each session to your unique needs, goals, and experiences. I also believe that healing doesn't have to be serious all the time, so when it feels right, I welcome humor as part of the process.
I have extensive experience working with adolescents and adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family concerns, and major life transitions. I also enjoy supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community, college students, and working professionals as they navigate the unique experiences and stressors in their lives.
