Hello! I am a dedicated and board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) specializing in adult psychiatry. My journey in mental health care has been marked by a commitment to excellence and a passion for improving the lives of those facing psychiatric challenges. In my current role, I specialize in conducting psychiatric evaluations, formulating personalized treatment plans, and prescribing psychopharmacological treatments to address a range of psychiatric disorders. My areas of expertise include bipolar disorder, major depression, anxiety disorders, panic disorders, schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and personality disorders.

I thank you for taking the time to read my bio. I have worked in health care since January 2006. I know that the healthcare field is a calling, and one of my life missions is to impact others positively. I went explicitly into psychiatry because, during high school I felt there were only a few subjects I could apply to everyday life. Everything starts with the mind, and as the famous quote states, “I think therefore I am.” First are the thoughts, whether conscious or unconscious, then feelings, i.e., emotions, and then actions. Thoughts, feelings, and actions encompass our daily lives and must be in harmony or as close to balance for everyone in order for us to live up to our full potential. I have worked as a certified nurse assistant and understand the necessity of working hard to provide for myself and my family. In addition, I have worked as a registered nurse in the hospital setting helping to heal those who have suffered from heart attacks, strokes, amputations, blindness, diabetes, sickle cell, cancer, motor vehicle accidents, etc. With this acquired experience, knowledge and understanding I have concluded that life is fragile. Thus, it is important to live each day to the best of our ability. Uniquely, I have been a family nurse practitioner and worked in primary care and urgent care. Thus, I understand and can treat hypertension, diabetes, back pain, hypothyroidism, common skin conditions, acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome, and much more. I specialize in psychiatry and see patients 18 years and older. Initial visits are one hour, and follow-up appointments are a half hour. This reduces the need to rush and allows us to be as comprehensive as possible to provide the best mental health care possible. The goal and vision are to work with you and to establish a positive relationship in which I recommend various treatments. Still, it’s done in partnership and collaboration to assist you with becoming the best version of yourself. It would be my privilege and honor to serve as your mental health provider. I have worked in the hospital setting helping to heal those who have suffered from heart attacks, strokes, amputations, diabetes, cancer, motor vehicle accidents, etc. With this acquired experience, knowledge and understanding I have concluded that life is fragile. Thus, it is important to live each day to the best of our ability.

Hi, I am Marketa PMHNP-BC, My vast experience as a nurse practitioner has led me to the awareness that patients psychological/emotional needs are rarely addressed in the physical healthcare setting but are a large part of the patients well-being and outcomes. My passion is driven by the bonds that I build with my patients over the course of their lives and the enjoyment I hold in keeping them healthy and well. I believe that every patient and their family are unique, with their own distinctive needs and my goal is to design an individualized treatment plan to help every patient exceed even their own preconceived outcomes. As a patient you can expect a caring and professional attitude from myself.

Hi there, I am originally from Michigan and moved to Brevard County, FL in 1997. I have a BA in Communications from Michigan State University and a Masters in Social Work from the University of Michigan. I worked for Candle Lighters of Brevard, when I first moved to town. My father had a stroke and he was in and out of hospitals and nursing homes for 6 years. His illness prompted me to go back to school at the University of Central Florida to obtain my BSN-RN. I worked Labor Delivery/Mother Baby at Wuesthof Melbourne for five years, during which time I went back to University of Central Florida to achieve my MSN/ Family Nurse Practitioner. During that time I also got divorced and was a single mother to an amazing son. I have been through many challenges and bumps in the road throughout my childhood, adolescence, and adulthood which has given me enhanced understanding, compassion, empathy, and a lack of being judgemental. I went back to school yet again, and completed my PMHNP from the University of Cincinnati. I specialize in integrative medicine which entails finding the root of the illness and treating it with lifestyle changes, healthy diet, exercise, Bio-identical hormone replacements, supplements, and medications that fix the problem instead of bandaiding the symptoms. I believe that the mind, body, and spirit are connected and need to be balanced, to feel a sense of over all well being. I do not believe in "cookie cutter or one size fits all medicine". I believe that you know your body and mind better than anyone. We will work together to find the root cause and discover the best treatment for you! Sometimes we may have to try many different options before we find the right fit, but I am like Felix the cat I have a large bag of tricks and I am able to think outside the box!!
