Hi, I’m Adanna, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). If you’re struggling with anxiety, trauma, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or panic attacks, please know you’re not alone. I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing and resilience, helping you find relief from the symptoms that affect your daily life.

A little about me: I’m a compassionate and dedicated PMHNP with extensive experience in conducting psychiatric evaluations, creating personalized treatment plans, integrating therapy modalities, managing medications, and providing counseling. My goal is to offer you the best care possible through open and honest communication, meeting you where you are with empathy and respect.

Medication Management: I combine psychopharmacology with evidence-based therapies to help you feel your best. Our sessions will typically happen monthly or twice a month—whatever fits your needs. I understand that everyone is unique, and I’m committed to helping you build on your strengths while balancing any symptoms that may be holding you back.

Common Challenges I Address:
*Anxiety
*Trauma
*Depression
*ADHD
*Bipolar Disorder
*Panic Attacks

Lifestyle Interventions: Together, we’ll explore lifestyle changes that support your mental well-being and overall health.

Holistic Approach: I believe mental health is shaped by a combination of biological, psychological, and social factors, so I tailor treatment plans to fit the whole person.

With my training and experience as a nurse practitioner, I’m committed to providing high-quality, personalized care that looks at the bigger picture—helping you heal, regain control, and create lasting stability.

Let’s work together to balance your mind, process and heal from past experiences, and develop strategies that empower you to thrive.

I try my best to validate, empower, and collaborate with the people I work with, ensuring no voice is silenced. Here is what you can look forward to when working with me:

Empathetic Listening: I listen without judgment, allowing clients to express themselves fully. Their experiences matter, and I validate their emotions.

Encouraging Open Dialogue: No topic is too small or insignificant. I actively encourage clients to share their thoughts, fears, and hopes. By fostering open dialogue, we break down barriers.

Cultivating Trust: Trust is the foundation of our relationship. I prioritize confidentiality, respect, and compassion. Clients need to know they can confide in me without fear of judgment.

Collaborative Decision-Making: I involve clients in their care plans. We discuss options, set goals together, and adjust treatments based on their preferences and needs.

Advocacy: If a client feels marginalized, I stand by their side—whether within the healthcare system or in their personal lives.

Cutting edge interventions: I have always prided myself on being a lifelong learner and getting the best results for my patients. That is why I’m always reading and learning what new and efficient that I can apply.

If you’re ready, I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
