Hey there. I'm Leah. A psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner of 20 years. I practice in both Tennessee & Hawaii. I’m a mental health nurse practitioner who believes women deserve more when it comes to their mental health — more options, more answers, and more freedom to heal in a way that feels true to them. My mission is simple: to help women find real options for healing. I believe in rewriting the story of mental health with more choice, more compassion, and more truth about what wellness can really look like. ⚡ If you’re ready for care that treats you — not a diagnosis — and digs into the story your body’s been trying to tell-
Our first 60 minute evaluation will include a detailed history, goal clarification, and recommendations for your next steps towards feeling better.
As an integrative provider with functional medicine training and 20 years of experience, I have a specialized set of skills to get to the root cause of your challenges and help you feel better. I provide both supportive individual therapy and medication management services.
My ideal clients are women who are navigating the challenges of anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. They are deeply motivated to move beyond symptom management and uncover the root causes of their distress and suffering, while feeling safe, seen, and supported.
Integrative
My approach integrates the best of traditional care with insights like nutritional deficiencies, inflammation, metabolic health, hormones, genetic markers, and gut health. By integrating these insights with talk therapy, lifestyle medicine, mind-body techniques, and medication, we craft a personalized treatment plan unique to you and your goals.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My therapeutic approach draws from evidence-based frameworks including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Mind-Body therapeutic interventions. While the methods vary, the process always begins with understanding your story—then applying practical, research-supported tools to help you recognize patterns, build insight, and create lasting change.
