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

Hello, nice to meet you! I’m Scott, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with 12 years of nursing experience. I provide care to clients across Colorado, specializing in depression, ADHD, anxiety, and LGBTQIA+ care. I completed my Master of Science in Nursing with a focus in psychiatry at Frontier Nursing University, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based mental health care.

As a psych NP, I treat a broad spectrum of mental health conditions in addition to my specializations.

I help clients find the support that fits them best, through medication management, therapy, and mind-body practices. My goal is to offer a calm, grounded space, using a client-centered approach informed by CBT, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.

We’re likely a good match if you…

appreciate someone who meets you exactly where you’re at
want to feel more confident about how you get things done
could use help in slowing down racing thoughts
want gentle support during tough weeks
are adjusting to a new chapter and figuring things out

Getting the Message Across: Signals Your Mind and Body Are Sending You
Small shifts in our routines, energy, and relationships can shape how we see ourselves. Paying attention to these changes and responding with care makes it easier to stay grounded before things feel heavier.
