Healing begins the moment you feel truly seen, heard, and supported. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are and walk alongside you as an active partner in your mental health journey.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) specializing in comprehensive, lifespan mental health care. My clinical approach blends rigorous scientific precision with a deeply empathetic, collaborative philosophy, ensuring you feel empowered rather than just a diagnosis.

Experienced across the entire lifespan, I treat children, adolescents, adults, and seniors (ages 4+). I provide evidence-based, specialized care for:

• ADHD Across the Lifespan: Supporting executive functioning and emotional regulation from childhood through adulthood.
• Anxiety & Depressive Disorders: Managing generalized anxiety, panic, and major depression.
• Mood & Psychotic Disorders: Utilizing modern clinical strategies for Bipolar disorder and complex mood shifts.
• Complex Presentations: Providing sensitive care for eating disorders, trauma histories, and personality-related behavior patterns.

Outside of psychiatry, I am an avid traveler and a passionate gardener. Tending to my roses daily is my favorite way to practice mindfulness and decompress, ensuring I return to my patients with a refreshed mind and renewed energy.

Challenges shouldn’t just be endured—they should be the catalyst for your breakthrough. My goal is to help you transform life's toughest hurdles into a foundation for lasting resilience and self-discovery, giving you the tools to reclaim your strength and lead a more intentional life.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist dedicated to helping children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigate life's challenges. I earned my Master of Marriage and Family Therapy from Abilene Christian University and have experience working with individuals facing emotional, behavioral, relationship, and family concerns. My approach is warm, collaborative, and personalized, using evidence-based therapies including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Narrative Therapy, and family systems therapy. For clients who desire it, I also offer Christian counseling by thoughtfully integrating faith with the therapy process.

Hi, I’m Macheda, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions that can leave you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or uncertain about what comes next. Many of my clients are used to being strong for others but privately feel stretched thin, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to keep carrying everything they’ve been holding. Therapy can be a space to pause, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and begin moving forward with greater clarity and self-understanding.

Through my experience in healthcare and individual settings, I’ve supported people and families during some of life’s most challenging and vulnerable moments. As an immigrant, I also understand how culture, identity, family expectations, and lived experiences can shape the way we see ourselves, relate to others, and navigate change. I recognize that emotional struggles do not happen in isolation, and I take care to understand the full context of your experiences rather than focusing only on symptoms.

What truly sets me apart is my calm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental approach. I believe in meeting every individual exactly where they are, creating a safe and affirming space for open, honest communication. Together, we’ll build a collaborative relationship where goals, preferences, and values guide every step of your care. I am committed to providing stigma-free care; including those navigating challenges related to neurodivergence, substance use, trauma, identity or difficult past experiences. Everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and respected without fear of shame or judgment.

I have my LPC-Licensed Professional Counselor and LMFT-Licensed Marriage and Family Counselor licenses. I have my Juris Doctorate and I am an expert in family law. My approach is collaborative, practical, and I make sure the client has something they can use to help themselves by the end of every session. I work with all types of clients, but mostly with adults, individually and as couples.
