    I continue to become inspired by witnessing the amazing strength and motivation that each person holds in bettering their lives.  I take pride in supporting clients in their journey to wellness and improved mental health.  I believe in addressing the health of the mind, body and spirit.  Through thoughtful use of medication, psychotherapy, and education, I aspire to design a treatment plan that fits each person’s lifestyle and personal beliefs.  I also evaluate nutritional status as this can be an important component of treatment. 

    I am a Doctorate prepared Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner.  I started working in behavioral health in 2005 and continued my education until I earned my doctorate.  Throughout this time, I have worked in various settings & with all ages, spending time helping those with eating disorders, substance abuse, treatment resistant depression, anxiety, impulse control disorders, psychosis, and adolescent mental health.  I truly feel called to this profession and appreciate being a part of each person's journey in their progression towards improved mental wellbeing.

    An amazing experience is to participate and observe an individual improve the quality of their mental health and their life through personalized and collaborative treatment plans that include medication management, supportive therapy, and lifestyle educational strategies.  I value mental health as a core element in achieving recovery and a meaningful life through the instillation of hope, connection, and empowerment of the individual.

    I am a Master’s prepared Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who has been caring for individuals in behavioral health since 2012.  With my experience in working with various people over the years, I have engaged with those in crisis or struggling in some of the most difficult times in their lives.  I pride myself in my empathic and genuine approach to treating the entire mind, body, and spirit of the individual struggling with substance use, depression, anxiety, thought and memory issues, as well as child and adolescent mental health.  I offer this in a calm, relaxing, and friendly environment that welcomes the individual during their most vulnerable time in their life.  My passion is to guide others through a journey to a life with self-realization and mental well-being. 

    I specialize in working with adults and older adult populations in medication management, but I am prepared to work with teens that are additionally engaged in psychotherapeutic treatment.  I enjoy working with the transitional aged youth (18 to 25 years-old), struggling with their conversion from adolescence into adulthood.  Additionally, I am receptive in evaluating specific childhood difficulties, such as attention deficit/hyperactivity issues including impulse control problems.

    “Mental health problems don’t define who you are. They are something you experience. You walk in the rain and you feel the rain, but you are not the rain.” — Matt Haig

    There are storms in life that cannot be weathered alone. It takes bravery to seek mental health care and you should be proud of taking that first step towards well-being.

    As a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner I am committed to providing a holistic, evidence-based approach to treatment. I have been working in nursing for 13 years; the last 10 years being in mental health. My experience is with adults who suffer from mood disorders, anxiety, insomnia, PTSD, ADD/ADHD and dementia.

    Geriatric psychiatry is a special interest of mine, and since 2019, I have been providing mental health services for a retirement community. I supported residents in many settings including independent living, assisted living, short term rehabilitation, long term care and memory care. I am also certified to provide cognitive screenings if there is a concern about memory loss. Early detection is important to determine the cause of symptoms and the best approach to treatment.

    I take pride in providing quality care to my patients. I look forward to working with you!

    Mental health is much more than the absence of mental challenges. It encompasses the physical, psychological, social, and emotional aspects of our being and is highly complex and unique to each individual. It is a privilege and a great responsibility when an individual chooses to allow me to participate in their journey. My experiences have taught me that collaboration and teamwork are necessary in any partnership, and working together to find a solution that is attainable and aligns with our goals is a priority. 

    I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, trained in the nursing model of healthcare, which centers around a holistic approach to patient care and treatment. Advocation, transparent communication, and evidence-based, up-to-date solutions are the cornerstones of my training. My career as an emergency department nurse in underserved communities has afforded me the opportunity to work with a diverse population with a variety of backgrounds and specific needs.

    My experience has spanned across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, and adult populations. I have worked extensively with our Veteran and Active-duty community as well. My specialties include trauma, including but not limited to PTSD, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and neurodivergent conditions. The positive outcomes related to therapy are something I believe strongly in and support along with medications in mental health treatment. 

    I am glad that you took this step to read about me and begin your mental health research. I hope that together, we can move towards overcoming any challenges that you may be facing and a better understanding of your true self.

  • “Inspire is client-centered, collaborative, compassionate, knowledgeable, and good at seeing a client’s big picture. They know that mental health and medication strategies are not one-size-fits-all and that clients are more than a set of symptoms. They take time getting to know their clients, and consider all the options, making treatment much more effective.”

  • "I have been seeing my provider for almost two years, and I can’t say enough good about her. She is a kind and compassionate listener, and I always feel respected and well treated. Her knowledge about medications is immense, and she is always great about sending my prescriptions to the pharmacy in good time. I feel very lucky to have found her!”

  • “Laurie is simply amazing. I love the time that she took during our first appointment as I feel like I really mattered, that I just wasn’t another number. She has continued to maintain this level of care with me, which is why I continue to refer others her way.”

  • “During the time I have known Chandra, I have felt genuine care and compassion from her. She’s incredibly knowledgable and very easy to talk with. I always feel more at ease while meeting with her. I’m so grateful to have her as a provider.”
