I’ve taken the ADHD Care Pledge to support safe and thoughtful stimulant use

Hello, nice to meet you! I’m Hannah, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with 10 years of nursing experience. I provide care to clients across Tennessee, specializing in anxiety, insomnia & sleep issues, life transitions, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). My master of science in nursing specializing in psychiatry were completed at Vanderbilt University, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based mental health care.

As a psych NP, my background includes treating a wide spectrum of mental health concerns, which supports a comprehensive and individualized approach to care.

My approach to patient care is fundamentally holistic, collaborative, and evidence-based. I believe the most effective care fosters patient autonomy. This begins with ensuring patients are fully informed about their diagnosis and all available treatment pathways, and then creating the treatment plan. I strive to create a therapeutic space where patients feel safe to be honest and vulnerable. This empathy is always balanced with the professional responsibility to prioritize patient safety. I believe medication alone is rarely the answer, and often incorporate therapy, supplements, lab testing, lifestyle/behavioral modifications, and dietary changes to help my patients feel their best.

We’re likely a good match if you…

  • feel safe opening up when the atmosphere is warm
  • hope to quiet your fears or worries
