About Me
Welcome to Amethyst Mental Health!
I am a psychiatric provider with a unique background combining over a decade of critical care nursing and six years as a critical care nurse practitioner, now proudly serving as a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP)
My journey began in Ukraine, where I was born and raised, and I carry with me a deep understanding of the cultural adjustments that come with living in a new country. Fluent in Ukrainian, I am passionate about helping patients from diverse backgrounds feel seen, understood, and supported in their mental health journeys.
I am committed to walking alongside you with empathy, knowledge, and a holistic approach to mental health, no matter where your journey begins.
My prior experience of working in critical care helped me gain a deep understanding of complex mental health challenges that patients face as they recover from physical illness. Additionally, having personally experienced the difficulties of night shift work, I am dedicated to offering compassionate care and practical strategies to fellow healthcare workers struggling with the unique stresses of shift work.
Outside of my professional life, I enjoy the warmth of family time with my husband, two wonderful children, and our two cats who keep things lively. Cooking, reading, and exploring parks with my kids bring me joy and balance amidst a busy life. And whenever I need to recharge, the beach is my happy place—a place of peace, reflection, and renewal.
