*** Please note that beginning July 1st, all appointments will take place at our new location: 28951 SR 54, Wesley Chapel, FL 33543. We look forward to welcoming you to the new space! *** I am a dual-board certified nurse practitioner, credentialed in family medicine & psychiatry. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, eating disorders, schizophrenia, adjustment/intermittent explosive disorders, insomnia, ADHD, and PTSD. I have worked in psychiatry for the last 4 years, and utilize many different methods to create a personalized care plan. This includes medication management and therapy interventions, as well as incorporating wellness services (weight loss and vitamin replacement).

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I hope for my clients to feel safe, heard, and cared for when meeting with me to treat their mental health needs. Every individual views mental health treatment differently, and I will strive understand your goals for treatment by creating your individualized plan of care with you. My philosophy on treating mental health is understanding that mental health problems do not define a person, but rather are experiences that shape an individual, and can be managed in order to live the best life possible. I focus on implementing both medication and therapeutic interventions to target the underlying causes of mental health disorders.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am grateful to have patients who value me as their provider, due to my compassion, understanding, and personalization of treatment. I strive to address the core issue of concerns, rather than solely treating symptoms. I also provide an environment that is welcoming and safe, being sure to build a rapport from the first meeting.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I offer services to clients 13 years of age and older, and this can be through a virtual visit (video-based) or in-person. We strive to target populations that have insurance, as well as those who are self-pay, as mental health should be affordable and accessible to everyone. Please note that any controlled substance prescriptions require an in-person visit per Florida state DEA guidelines. These cannot be prescribed virtually.

My therapy with Carey has been a great asset to me, Carey has always been professional, caring and honest with me. She listens to me and gives me the tools I need to continue my journey through my on going struggle with grief. She is a light in my sometimes dim world. Her knowledge and empathy are such a comfort to helping me! Truly a profound influence in my life.

Carey is a great provider that thoroughly listens and caters a plan to best suit your needs--even if they are complicated and fluctuating! I am thankful for her help. I feel the best I've felt in years with her on my team.
