My name is Leilani and I’m a dual-certified Family and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and I believe feeling heard is just as important as any treatment plan. My background in both primary care and mental health, along with my experience as a military veteran and spouse, helps me understand how stress, health, and life experiences are often deeply intertwined. I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and big life transitions, and I take time to listen before offering guidance. My goal is to create a calm, supportive space where we can talk things through together and move forward in a way that feels manageable and right for you.
My approach is highly individualized, blending creativity and empathy to tailor each session to the unique needs of my clients. I collaborate, working closely with clients to set meaningful and inspiring goals.
I bring 20+ years of experience and a genuine belief that every person has the capacity for change. I'm direct but compassionate — I'll be honest with you, and I'll always be in your corner. I don't believe in labeling people or fitting you into a box. You are a whole, complex human being, and that's how I'll treat you. I also have experience working with dually diagnosed individuals and those navigating substance use alongside other mental health challenges, so no matter what you're carrying, I've likely sat with someone in a similar place.
Hi, I’m Sarné (Shar-nay), a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of nursing and psychiatric experience. I believe mental health care should feel supportive, collaborative, and free of judgment. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, stress, and life transitions.
As a professional, mother, and caregiver myself, I understand how overwhelming life can become. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward lasting emotional wellness.
I am committed to lifelong learning and providing care grounded in the latest evidence. I have completed the Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP) training through the Nutritional and Integrative Medicine for Mental Health Professionals program. This advanced training has expanded my knowledge of nutrition, sleep, physical activity, stress management, gut health, and other evidence-informed lifestyle approaches that can complement traditional psychiatric treatment when appropriate. These strategies are thoughtfully integrated into care and are intended to support—not replace—evidence-based psychiatric treatment, including medication management, psychotherapy, and collaborative care.
Whether you’re seeking support for the first time or looking for a provider who takes a whole-person approach to mental health, I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing, resilience, and lasting wellness.
