Deanna is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Certified Nurse Midwife with over 25 years of experience providing mental health care to children, adolescents, adults, and elders. Her approach is comprehensive, inclusive, and trauma-informed, grounded in an integrative model that considers the whole person. Deanna partners closely with each individual—or their loved one—to restore balance across the many areas of life that influence mental health and overall well-being.

Deanna has extensive experience supporting individuals with a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and neurodivergent conditions. She has specialized training in integrative psychiatric care, women’s and children’s mental health, and the assessment and treatment of ADHD in both children and adults. Her dual certification as a nurse midwife provides her with a deep understanding of women’s health across the lifespan, including hormonal influences on mental health during reproductive years, pregnancy, postpartum, and perimenopause, as well as expertise in early childhood development.

In her practice, Deanna provides thoughtful medication management for emotional and behavioral challenges, drawing on her background in biology to deeply understand how medications interact within the body. She also offers GeneSight testing to help personalize treatment based on an individual’s unique genetic profile, allowing for more targeted and effective care—especially for those who have struggled with medication resistance.

As an integrative provider, Deanna also incorporates holistic treatment options when appropriate. She may recommend carefully selected herbal supplements, vitamins, and minerals to support the body’s natural balance, particularly for individuals seeking non-pharmaceutical approaches. Recognizing the strong connection between physical and mental health, she also addresses nutrition and gut microbiome health as key components in emotional regulation and overall wellness.

Deanna brings additional depth to her sessions through brief psychotherapy and a blend of therapeutic techniques, as well as training in yoga and traditional healing practices. She integrates mindfulness, breathing, and movement-based strategies to support emotional release and promote a sense of calm and grounding.

Her goal is for every client to leave sessions feeling supported, hopeful, and equipped with a clear path forward. Deanna is honored to walk alongside her clients on their journey toward healing.
