Welcome! I am so happy you have taken the first step to healing. My name is Dzenana and I work with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress, grief/loss, emotion regulation, suicidal ideation, and trauma. My master's is from University of Missouri-Kansas City. I have worked as a school counselor for 11 years before opening my own private practice. That gave me the opportunity to work not just with children, but also with parents as they navigate life stressors and raise their kids. My varied life experiences allow me to connect meaningfully with people to foster their growth. Whether you are struggling with deep past events or current daily life stress, I can work with you. If you are hesitant, give me just one hour. Let's get started!

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Missouri


I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 16 years of experience in healthcare. I began my career practicing in a rural community, where I quickly saw how limited access to mental health care affected individuals and families.

Throughout my career, I found myself increasingly drawn to the mental health needs of my patients. I wanted the opportunity to do more, build relationships, and help create change. This passion led me to pursue certification in psychiatric mental health.

My background in both family medicine and psychiatry allows me to approach mental health from a whole-person perspective, recognizing the importance of the relationship between physical and emotional well-being.
