"As a woman of color and mother to a special needs child, I understand the unique challenges of navigating between the various roles that come with this background. "

My name is Kaydean and I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I work with ages 12 and up. I have been treating depression and anxiety since 2019, while working as a family nurse practitioner. I changed specialties when I became aware of the shortage in mental health and I wanted to help bridge that gap in client care. I typically work with adults who face high levels of stress. These adults sometimes have trauma or an underlying mood disorder and seek my help to maintain function and productivity in their daily lives. 

I address these concerns through medication management and psychotherapy. I'm conservative in my treatment plans and will rule out underlying medical issues. 

After all that you have been through, it makes sense that you are stressed and feeling like you have no more bandwidth left. Let's explore these feelings together.
