(he/him)
Hi, I’m Jesse, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, and mood-related challenges, offering a balanced approach that combines medication management with practical, skills-based strategies. I create a warm, motivating, and encouraging space where we work collaboratively. My approach is straightforward and supportive—I focus on helping you understand what’s contributing to your symptoms while also giving you clear, actionable tools to improve how you feel day-to-day. Whether you’re navigating difficult emotions or managing longer-term mental health concerns, my goal is to help you feel more stable, confident, and in control. I also welcome the integration of spiritual practices, when meaningful to you, as they can support resilience and overall well-being. My aim is to help you strengthen your inner resources while building practical skills to navigate life’s challenges effectively.
During our first session, my focus is to truly understand you—you are far more than a set of symptoms. I want to get to know your strengths, your story, and the vision you have for your life moving forward. My goal is to make the experience grounding, clarifying, and comfortable.
One of my greatest strengths is my ability to quickly understand the full picture—both clinically and personally—and translate that into a clear, effective treatment plan. I focus on helping clients feel better as efficiently as possible, while also building a foundation for long-term stability. My approach is structured yet flexible. I integrate medication management with evidence-based strategies like CBT and supportive therapy, ensuring that sessions are both productive and personalized. Clients often value that I’m engaged, thoughtful, and focused on what will actually move the needle for them. I also prioritize clarity and transparency—whether it’s explaining diagnoses, treatment options, or next steps—so clients feel informed, confident, and actively involved in their care.
My ideal clients are individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, mood changes, or feeling overwhelmed by life stressors who are ready for real, practical support. They may feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, low motivation, irritability, or emotional burnout, and are looking for clear direction on how to feel better and function more consistently. I work best with clients who want a balanced approach—combining medication management with straightforward, skills-based strategies they can actually use in their daily lives. Many are navigating transitions in work, relationships, or personal identity and are seeking both symptom relief and a better understanding of themselves. My approach is collaborative, down-to-earth, and solution-focused. I aim to create a space where clients feel comfortable being honest, while also helping them build insight, develop healthier patterns, and move forward with greater stability and confidence.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core component of my practice, particularly in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and PTSD. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I integrate CBT techniques within medication management sessions to provide a more comprehensive, skills-based approach to care. My experience with CBT focuses on helping clients identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, improve emotional regulation, and develop practical coping strategies. I often use techniques such as cognitive restructuring, behavioral activation, and mindfulness-based interventions to help patients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
Supportive
I also utilize supportive therapy as a foundational approach in my practice. Supportive therapy focuses on creating a safe, collaborative space where patients feel heard, validated, and understood. I use this approach to help individuals process stressors, strengthen coping mechanisms, and improve overall emotional resilience. This is particularly helpful in higher-acuity or transitional situations, where immediate problem-solving, reassurance, and stabilization are priorities. I incorporate techniques such as active listening, reflection, encouragement, and practical guidance, while helping patients build insight and confidence in managing their symptoms.
