PMHNP-BC · Children and young adults · ADHD, anxiety, and depression · Addiction recovery
Julie became a nurse because of a nurse. When her six-year-old son was going through cancer treatment, an oncology nurse practitioner carried the family through it with skill, compassion, and hope, and reminded them that healing is about far more than medicine. Julie decided she could be that person for someone else.
For the next decade she cared for premature infants, critically ill children, and families facing the unimaginable, in pediatric intensive care, neonatal care, and emergency rooms. A position she took as a placeholder in addiction treatment became ten more years and a calling: it was there she trained as a psychiatric nurse practitioner. Across more than twenty years in healthcare, one lesson held, that meaningful connection is not separate from good care; it is part of it.
Julie sees children, adolescents, and young adults for ADHD, anxiety, and depression, and she works alongside people rebuilding their lives after addiction. She offers full ADHD evaluation and treatment, thorough and individual, never one-size-fits-all. She wanted a practice where no one is rushed and listening matters as much as diagnosing. Trust is huge,
she says. We don’t judge.
Her father used to ask one question that still guides her: If not me, who?
It is why she built Psych NP to be a place where people who have spent years feeling invisible finally feel seen, heard, and hopeful again.
A farm girl her whole life.When she is off the clock, Julie is on the farm.
