(she/her)
Hello! My name is Lori. I am very happy and honored to potentially meet you. I am a ANCC/Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, licensed in Georgia, New York, Florida, and Nevada. My background include critical care nursing for nearly 18 years prior to becoming a nurse practitioner. With this background, I am able to combine my expertise in both critical care and behavioral health to offer a very unique approach. I treat ages between 6-85 years of age. My specialties include individuals dealing with ADHD, trauma related disorders, anxiety, mood disorders, and behavioral disturbances related to neurocognitive disorders. I also offer inclusive support to minorities, indigenous populations, those who are marginalized, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. My arms are open to all walks of life - no matter what and who you are - or what you believe in. As a trauma survivor myself, I empathize with the feelings of being misunderstood and alone. Together, we can take meaningful steps to prioritize and protect your mental well-being. Investing in your mental health is a valuable pursuit, and you don’t have to navigate it alone. I firmly believe in the uniqueness of each individual and am dedicated to helping you achieve health and wholeness. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to mental health treatment. I take an inside-out approach, listening attentively to your goals and vision for optimal well-being. Through a personalized and evidence-based treatment plan tailored to your needs, we can work together to enhance your quality of life. Rooted in the values of southern hospitality, kindness and authenticity are at the heart of my practice. My sincere wish is to see you thriving and happy - on your terms, with my guidance, support, and empathy.
