Trained as a psych NP, Lois is a generalist with experience in treating a wide range of mental health conditions.

“I became a Psych NP because I wanted to help people feel seen, supported, and empowered during some of the most challenging periods of their lives. After more than 30 years in healthcare, I recognized that mental health is foundational to overall well-being. I was drawn to psychiatry because it allows me to combine science, compassion, and meaningful human connection while helping individuals build resilience, find balance, and achieve their goals.”

Psychiatric nurse practitioners (psych NPs) are mental health specialists who provide therapy, prescribe medications, and offer holistic care by addressing both symptoms and the underlying factors contributing to mental health conditions. They’re highly trained to understand your unique situation, including identifying multiple conditions or uncovering underlying causes.

One of the things that sets psych NPs apart is their emphasis on collaboration—they create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood. They’ll work with you to build a care plan and check in with you often to see whether it’s working or if it needs adjusting.

Psych NPs make mental health care feel simple and approachable. They’re trained to handle a wide range of challenges and can tailor care to fit your needs. With a mix of medical expertise and a focus on understanding your story, background, medical history, and lifestyle, they offer professional mental health support that feels personal.
