I want to help you redesign your mental health. You are the expert in what it is like to be you. I want to listen first so that I can support your design. Together we will create a safe place of belonging and self-discovery. I do not have all the answers. Diagnoses, medications, and psychotherapy are merely tools to help you find your own answers.

My focus is medication management. I am an experienced Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner passionate about ending the stigma against mental illness that prevents people from getting the support they need. I am a fierce advocate of LGBTQ+ persons and of anyone else who needs my support. I have expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide variety of psychiatric conditions: mood disorders, anxiety, substance use disorders, ADHD, PTSD, and many more. I work with adults and teens to determine an appropriate combination of both medications and psychotherapy.

ABOUT US: Years ago, when Melissa was a new psychiatric nurse practitioner, she had a favorite support staff named Stefani. Because they worked together so well, they decided to couple up on a permanent basis. In addition to loving each other, they love helping individuals navigate their mental health journey.
Both are passionate about listening and supporting. In 2019, they rented a U-Haul and, with their dog, Dolly, drove from Utah to Washington for their next adventure. One terribly long quarantine later, they found that they still liked each other enough to work together too and decided to start this private practice.

​They hope to create a welcoming & safe place for individuals redesigning their mental health.

Although they had to say goodbye to their beloved dog, Dolly, their new puppy, Ellie, enthusiastically joined the team.
