PMHNP, 4 years of experience
Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or mood swings and looking for a provider who understands the full picture of mental wellness including concerns about weight? As a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, and bipolar disorder. I take a holistic, personalized approach to care, ensuring that your treatment plan supports your mental health while also considering potential side effects, such as weight changes, that can sometimes accompany psychotropic medications. If weight gain is a concern, I offer strategies to minimize its impact through thoughtful medication selection, lifestyle guidance, and evidence-based weight management options. I also provide medically supervised weight loss treatment and other tailored interventions when appropriate. I believe in collaborative, judgment-free care, working together to find the best solutions for both your mental and physical well-being. Whether you need medication management, support for emotional eating, or guidance on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, I’m here to help. Let’s create a plan that supports both your mind and body.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
I recognize and respect the diverse backgrounds and cultural identities of my clients. Therefore, I am committed to providing culturally sensitive care that acknowledges and incorporates your unique beliefs, values, and traditions. I aim to create a safe and inclusive space where cultural differences are celebrated and integrated into the treatment process.

Tameka has been a wonderful psychiatrist to work with! She always listens and puts in the effort to get to know me and understand my circumstances. She treats you like a person, not just another medical label in a book. I know a lot of people who have needed to search for new psychiatrists to meet their needs and feel heard, Tameka was my first and last stop! I've been working with her for over a year, and she has helped me put together a plan to manage my severe depression/anxiety and bipolar.
