About J.J.
As an integrative psychiatric nurse practitioner, my journey in healthcare has been shaped by both personal experience and professional dedication. I’ve been a Registered Nurse since 1991, earning degrees and certifications along the way—including a Doctorate and advanced training in psychiatry and mental health. My work is deeply rooted in a desire to help others, a calling that began after losing my mother at age two and has continued through decades of service and study. That early loss inspired a lifelong commitment to supporting others through their own pain, with compassion and empathy at the heart of my approach.
I specialize in working with high-achieving men and women who are navigating challenges such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, and chronic health conditions like heart disease and diabetes. I also help adults who are going through divorce or processing the long-term impact of early parental loss. My goal is to guide clients toward clarity, emotional stability, motivation, and peace. I take a non-judgmental, integrative approach that blends psychiatric care with lab testing, lifestyle coaching, nutritional support, and psychotherapy to help people feel more in control of their lives and futures.
My hope is that everyone I work with feels truly seen, heard, and understood. I believe that when people take charge of their minds, they can transform their lives and relationships. Outside of my professional work, I find grounding and inspiration in nature—hiking, cycling, traveling, and spending time outdoors renew my energy and perspective. I’ve also participated in several medical mission trips to underserved countries, which have further strengthened my commitment to making a difference. If you're ready to move forward on a path toward healing and wholeness, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Together, we can work toward a life filled with meaning, purpose, and emotional well-being.
