Optimal Healing is Possible.

Integrative Psychiatric Treatment
for Women, by a Woman

I create an affirming space driven by integrative psychiatric strategies to partner with women through the transformative journey of midlife mental health.

I also specialize in hormonal transitions through pregnancy, postpartum, and the parenting journey.

OptiMind is for women like you, because every woman deserves care where they feel heard, understood, and have trust in their treatment plan and provider. 

Do these sound familiar?

  • Intense emotions are getting to be a problem

  • You feel like you’re in a constant state of irritation

  • You struggle to connect with your children and feel “mom guilt”

  • You view food as comfort, or means of survival, over nutrition

  • You’ve tried an SSRI before, but haven’t felt any effect 

  • You just want to feel like yourself again

    I offer an integrative approach to care including mind-body medicine, targeted therapy, medication, and more.

Hi, I’m Lisa, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

Welcome to my practice, OptiMind Mental Health & Wellness.

I am a double-board certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and Nurse-Midwife who helps women cope with and recover from anxiety, depression, OCD, mood swings and more.

I value an integrative approach that may, in addition to psychiatric evaluation, include lab testing, food-mood assessment, genetic testing, targeted psychotherapy, science-backed supplement recommendations and medication expertise to address what may feel like unpredictable or unmanageable moods.

I created OptiMind for you because everyone deserves care where they feel heard.

Finding the right psychiatric provider who appears human, takes the time to listen and is committed to helping you overcome roadblocks to mental wellness can make all the difference.

You don't need to do this alone. I offer a 15-minute free initial discovery call to see if we are a good fit.
