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

Hello, nice to meet you! I’m Lois, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with 26 years of nursing experience. I provide care to clients across Nebraska, specializing in ADHD, anxiety, depression, and insomnia and sleep issues. My master of science in nursing specializing in psychiatry was completed at George Washington University where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based mental health care, and a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree in Nursing Informatics that combines technical, analytical, and clinical expertise in optimizing healthcare workflow.

Trained as a psych NP, I am a generalist with experience in treating a wide range of conditions.

My style is warm, affirming, and collaborative. I believe mental health care works best when clients feel safe, respected, and empowered to participate actively in their treatment. I take a whole-person approach that combines evidence-based psychiatric care with genuine curiosity, compassion, and respect for each individual’s lived experience. My goal is to create a supportive space where clients can build resilience, find balance, and move toward the life they want to live.

We’re likely a good match if you…
