Hello there, I’m Mercy, a dual board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and Family nurse practitioner. Do you struggle with a lack of attention, poor focus or difficulty concentrating on important tasks? Are you constantly worrying about your health, finances, family, or your relationships? Do you feel scared that something bad may happen to you or your loved ones? Is it hard for you to just enjoy being yourself? I am dedicated to helping patients across the lifespan, navigate and address their mental health problems. I will do the same for you. I utilize a wholistic approach and integrate both medication and talk/support therapy. Seeking mental health care can be very overwhelming and scary, and making the right choice of provider is crucial.

Schedule a session with me today and start your journey towards recovery. Kind regards.
