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

Hi, I’m Saketa, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with 9 years of nursing experience. I provide care to clients across Louisiana and Iowa, specializing in women’s health, anxiety, depression, and insomnia. My strong foundation in evidence-based mental health care was established through my master’s degree and psychiatric training at the University of Mississippi.

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 psychiatric evaluation and medication management is warm, patient-centered, and rooted in real connection. I take time to truly listen and understand what each person is going through—not just focusing on symptoms, but on the whole person. I believe in working together to find what feels right, whether that’s exploring medication options, lifestyle changes, or just creating space to be heard. My goal is to make people feel safe, supported, and involved every step of the way.

We’re likely a good match if you…

  • connect with those who speak from the heart
  • want a healthier relationship with your thoughts

  • hope to understand your emotions without feeling swept away
