Hi, I'm Dionne, a psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, anger management, and cultural and ethnic issues. I work primarily with adults and seniors, and I believe that the foundation of good care starts with truly being heard. From our very first appointment, my goal is to make sure you feel comfortable, respected, and understood - no matter what you're walking in with.

Therapy is a safe space for you to explore and be heard. During our time together my role is to help foster a safe space and meet you where you feel your needs are. Together we can discuss the stressors which have you reaching out for therapy.

Feeling stuck in cycles of anxiety, intrusive thoughts, second-guessing, and endless “what if” spirals—or burned out from the stress of high expectations and carrying the mental load—can be overwhelming and exhausting.

Whether you’re a new parent, recently graduated from college, going through a relationship change, or simply feeling stuck, I use evidence-based therapy, including CBT, ERP, and mindfulness, to help you reclaim your life, reconnect with your values, and build skills for long-term well-being.
