Living with anxiety, burnout, or chronic pain can be exhausting—especially when you feel unheard. I get it. I’ve worked with patients for over 20 years who’ve experienced the toll of pushing through physical pain while their mental health quietly suffers.

At The Listening NP, I offer integrative psychiatric care designed for professionals navigating life with chronic back or neck pain, anxiety, insomnia, and frustration. I provide flexible evening and weekend telehealth visits across Florida, along with personalized medication management and supportive talk therapy.

My promise is simple: I’ll truly listen. Your story matters, and you deserve care that sees the full picture—not just your symptoms.

My Approach to Care: Science, Support, and Whole-Person Healing

At The Listening NP, I blend medical expertise with genuine connection. Your care plan won’t come from a template—it’s built around your real needs, experiences, and goals. Here's how we may work together:

• Medication Management
  Thoughtful, evidence-based psychiatric care to support mood, focus, sleep, and anxiety.

• Mindfulness & Nervous System Support
  Simple practices to calm your mind, ease tension, and strengthen emotional resilience.

• Solution-Focused Counseling
  We’ll address what’s most urgent with clear, practical steps—no fluff, no pressure.

• Motivational Interviewing
  Collaborative conversations that help you clarify your goals and move forward with confidence.

• Education on Pain & Mental Health
  I’ll help you understand what’s happening in your body and brain—so you can feel more in control of your care.

• Integrative & Holistic Strategies
  When helpful, we may explore supplements, sleep routines, or nutrition as part of your healing.

• Investigating Root Causes
  We may explore labs to check for nutritional deficiencies, thyroid or hormone issues, or other physical factors that could be affecting your mood, energy, and focus.

You won’t just be treated—you’ll be heard, informed, and actively involved in your own care.
That’s what whole-person mental health support looks like.

At The Listening NP, my philosophy is simple: mental health care should be compassionate, human, and whole-person focused. As a dual-certified psychiatric and family nurse practitioner, I combine neuroscience and psychiatry to treat not just symptoms—but the real experiences behind them.

My approach is calm, validating, and rooted in clinical expertise. Whether you're navigating chronic pain, stress, or feeling emotionally stuck, I’m here to support your path toward clarity and relief.

Common Mental Health Challenges Faced by Individuals with Chronic Pain:

• Anxiety & Stress: Constant pain can create ongoing worry and tension, making it hard to stay present or relaxed.

• Depression & Isolation: Long-term physical pain can lead to emotional exhaustion, disconnection, and hopelessness.

• Sleep & Fatigue: Pain often disrupts rest, leaving you feeling drained, irritable, and foggy.

• Feeling Dismissed by Providers: Many clients come to me after feeling misunderstood, rushed, or invalidated in traditional care.

• Loss of Identity & Confidence: Chronic pain can reshape your work, relationships, and sense of self—quietly but profoundly.

What to Expect in Your First Appointment

Your first session is all about understanding you. We’ll talk through your current concerns, medical and mental health history, daily routines, and what’s been most difficult lately—whether it’s pain, anxiety, sleep issues, or stress.

There’s no pressure to “have it all figured out.” I’ll ask thoughtful questions and listen carefully so we can identify what’s working, what isn’t, and where you'd like to feel relief.

Together, we’ll start shaping a treatment plan that may include:

• Medication management

• Supportive talk therapy

• Education about your condition

• Lifestyle and sleep strategies

You’ll leave the first session feeling heard—and with a clearer path forward.
