(she/her)
I am a dual certified family and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I have over 16 years of experience in several settings including outpatient mental health. I approach focuses on treating the whole person. I am passionate about patients helping patients improve their overall health and achieve optimal well-being. I have a clinic in Winchester TN if you would prefer in person or I can see patients online.
The first session will be an introduction and initial evaluation. My goal is to create a supportive environment where patients feel heard, understood and empowered. I can start medication management if there is a mutual agreement that is best. We will discuss potential benefits as well as side effects to choose the medication most likely to benefit each individual. Please note that I do not prescribe controlled substances (e.g. xanax or other benzodiazepines, Adderall or other stimulants).
I believe in individualized care that is also evidence based. I feel that my clients trust my medical knowledge and know that I listen closely to needs/issues. I try to stay up to date and use evidence-based practices.
My clients are ready for improvement in not only mental but physical health and are putting in the effort to improve quality of life.

Tonia listened closely to the problems I had been having and offered a plan. She made sure I felt comfortable with this plan and addressed any concerns I had. I am looking forward to continuing to see her to improve my mental health.
