"Your Mental Health Matters—And You Don’t Have to Navigate It Alone."

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, or other mental health challenges? Reaching out for support can be an important first step toward feeling like yourself again.

I’m currently offering a FREE 15-minute consultation to discuss your concerns, answer questions, and explore how I may be able to support your mental wellness journey.

Hello! My name is Ene (pronounced “N/A”). I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 21 years of diverse nursing experience, including work in acute psychiatric care, Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP), and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP).

My approach to mental health care is compassionate, evidence-based, and individualized. I believe in treating the whole person—not simply a diagnosis. My practice emphasizes holistic wellness, cultural sensitivity, collaboration, and patient-centered care, with the goal of creating a safe and supportive environment where you feel heard and respected.

I support individuals navigating concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, mood changes, and other mental health challenges while working collaboratively to develop treatment plans that reflect each person's individual needs and goals.

Taking care of your mental health is a meaningful investment in yourself. You don't have to figure everything out on your own.

Ready to get started? Book your FREE 15-minute consultation today.

I look forward to connecting with you and supporting you on your journey toward improved mental wellness.

I enjoy helping clients to identify and head toward their goals. I've been in practice for 13 years, and worked with a diverse set of clients in a federally qualified health clinic. I believe in the power of individual work, alongside being involved in relationships to bring about the greatest healing and fulfillment in life.

I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment where it feels safe to lay all your cards out on the table without fear of being judged. Our lives can sometimes be brutal, or exceedingly beautiful, and everything in between. I'm here for all of it. I find that I work particularly well with people who are struggling with major life transitions, grief, and managing chronic conditions.

Welcome! I'm Ami.

I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in private practice and I'm glad you found your way here. Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, so take a moment to read about me and how I work. If anything resonates, I'd love to connect for a free consultation to explore whether I might be a good fit for what you're looking for.

What I offer:

I provide individual therapy for people who want to move through life's with greater ease, clarity, and fulfillment. My approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and a deep respect for your unique experiences and identities.

I identify as Queer and Asian-American, and many of my clients share these identities. If you're queer, trans, gender expansive, neurodivergent, or in some way navigating a life between cultures, I'd love to offer you a space to explore your experience and how you want to show up in the world.

Navigating your mental health journey is a brave step, and I'm here to meet you where you are. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I believe your story is unique and deserves to be heard. My approach is rooted in empathy, kindness, and cultural sensitivity.

With decades of experience as a nurse practitioner and over 15 years specializing in mental health, I am committed to understanding each patient's unique story and life experiences. I have a special interest in resiliency and thriving after trauma. I am dedicated to supporting you as you determine the path and pace that best suits your needs.

I have been working as a therapist to help clients find healing and gain understanding in themselves since 2016.

I hold a Body Acceptance Group for Women where clients work towards overcoming body shame, learn to nourish and heal their relationship with their body, and start living an empowered life.

Other areas of focus in my work are on adult family relationships, trauma, healing from sexual assault or abuse, and anxiety.
