I value helping each patient feel heard and understood, creating a supportive environment where open and honest communication can foster growth.

My philosophy is to meet you where you are in life and walk beside you toward where you hope to be. I create a welcoming, relaxed, and nonjudgmental environment grounded in unconditional positive regard and solution-focused care.

I use evidence-based screening tools and a thorough history to inform diagnosis, while considering possible medical causes of symptoms and collaborating with other clinicians when needed.

Options may include medication, education, and alternative therapies based on your preferences and comfort level.

Hello! I’m Brennan, a psychiatric nurse practitioner. My practice is grounded in compassion, curiosity, transparency, and creating an inclusive space where you feel heard and respected. I specialize in PTSD and C-PTSD and work with LGBTQIA+ concerns, polyamory/ENM, weight-loss psychiatry, and other areas that may not receive attention in traditional mental health settings.

Your first appointment begins with a conversation about what is troubling you, not simply assigning a diagnosis. I want to understand your symptoms, concerns, history, goals, and what you hope to get from treatment. We’ll discuss explanations and treatment options, including approaches with and without medication. You should expect compassion, careful questioning, and an honest conversation. We’ll work toward a plan that addresses your needs and clarifies next steps.

My approach follows a “no surprise” method of communication. If your diagnosis, medication, treatment approach, or therapy style needs to change, I’ll explain what changed, why, and what information led us there. You should never feel like decisions are being made without you. I value open communication and want you to feel secure, respected, and heard. My goal is to work with you rather than tell you what to do. We’ll assess what is working, what isn’t, and adjust so your care aligns with your goals.
