Hello! I am a Nurse Practitioner with board certifications in family and psychiatric medicine. I received my Master's in Nursing from Western Carolina University and I have been in practice for over 20 years. I believe a holistic approach serves people in the best possible way and I use a combination of medicine, and lifestyle coaching to optimize your mental health. I also offer Genesight testing for a more individualized approach to your medication management.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Together, we will identify your challenges and goals - where you want your life to be a month, six months, a year from now. Then, we'll identify medication and herbal options that can help you get there. Referral to a psychotherapist will be offered to further your journey. You'll leave the session with a better understanding of what you're facing with an "actions I can take right now" approach. There will always be room for suggestions concerning our work together.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows people to explore concerns related to anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. My strength lies in my compassion and focus to help you. I will listen to you and together we can help you embrace your journey towards a healthy and rewarding life.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I love working with people who are ready to challenge themselves and make changes towards their personal growth. My approach is not just medication management, but working as a team to integrate your body, mind, and soul so that you can become the best possible version of you. I am not able to offer therapy only options at this time.

I was put at ease immediately after meeting Rhonda. I felt comfortable confiding in her in a way that I wasn't always able to do with other therapists or psychiatrists. She provided me with recommendations and provided an assessment of each. And it was evident that she was focusing on me thru the entire time I was with her. I now am confident that Rhonda will help me to live a better life.
