February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, and emotional abuse in teen relationships is more common than most people realize.

The signs aren't always obvious. A partner who checks their phone constantly, tells them what to wear, makes them feel guilty for having friends, or criticizes them in front of others then claims they're joking.

Over time, this chips away at self-worth. They start doubting themselves, feeling anxious and on edge, walking on eggshells. They stop trusting their own feelings.

If your teen just got out of a relationship like this, rebuilding takes time. Help them understand what happened wasn't normal and wasn't their fault. Create space for them to talk without judgment.

But if the anxiety, sadness, or self-doubt won't lift, they don't have to push through it alone.

I'm a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in Nashville and Hendersonville, Tennessee, and I work with teens and young adults recovering from trauma and emotional abuse.

Initial Psychiatric Evaluations are 60-minute sessions where we talk about what happened, how it's affecting them now, and what they need to heal. Then we'll create a treatment plan designed specifically for them. Pharmacogenetic testing is also available.

👉🏾 Your teen deserves to feel like themselves again. Schedule an Initial Psychiatric Evaluation.

When you see a scary headline, does your chest tighten, your thoughts spiral, and your heart start racing?

Your nervous system doesn't know the difference between reading about danger AND being in danger. It reacts the same way.

Bring yourself back down in two minutes:

Name what's around you. Look around and name five things you can see, four you can touch, three you can hear, two you can smell, one you can taste. This pulls your brain out of threat mode.

Box breathing. Breathe in for four counts, hold for four, out for four, hold for four. Repeat until your heart rate slows.

Cold water on your wrists. Run your wrists under cold water for 30 seconds. The temperature shift interrupts the panic signal.

These techniques can help when anxiety spikes. But if anxiety is your baseline, grounding alone won't fix it.

I'm a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner based in Nashville and Hendersonville, Tennessee, and I work with people whose anxiety doesn't calm down even after the headlines fade.

Initial Psychiatric Evaluations are 60-minute sessions where we discuss your symptoms, what triggers them, and your full history. Then we'll map out a treatment plan specific to what you're dealing with.

If it makes sense for you, we can also do pharmacogenetic testing to see how your genetics interact with different medications, so we can choose what will actually work.

👉🏾 Grounding techniques aren't enough anymore? Schedule your Initial Psychiatric Evaluation.

Chest pain, racing heart, shortness of breath, dizziness, sweating. Panic attack or heart problem?

The symptoms overlap so much that even doctors run tests to tell the difference.

If this is your first time experiencing these symptoms, or if you have risk factors for heart disease, go to the ER or call your doctor. Get your heart checked first.

But if you've been cleared medically and these episodes keep happening, you're likely dealing with panic attacks.

Panic attacks can show up out of nowhere or build slowly. Your body goes into fight-or-flight mode even when there's no actual danger. The fear can become a cycle…worrying about the next attack makes the next attack more likely.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in Nashville and Hendersonville, Tennessee, I help people who are dealing with panic and anxiety that disrupts their lives.

Initial Psychiatric Evaluations give us a full 60 minutes to talk through what's happening, when it started, and what triggers it. Then we'll create a treatment plan designed around you and your specific symptoms.

We may also offer pharmacogenetic testing to identify which medications work best with your body, so treatment is more targeted from day one.

For some people, this holiday is a MAJOR anxiety trigger. The comparison spiral starts. Self-doubt creeps in. Your mood drops and you can't shake it.

If the pressure is making you anxious or pulling you into a low mood, you're not broken. Holidays amplify what's already there.

Take the pressure off. You don't owe anyone proof of romance or happiness. Spend the day however you want…alone, with friends, ignoring it completely. There's no wrong way to get through it.

But if anxiety or low mood shows up more often than just around holidays, that's worth paying attention to.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in Nashville and Hendersonville, Tennessee, I work with people dealing with anxiety and depression that disrupts their lives.

Initial Psychiatric Evaluations are 60 minutes where we go over your symptoms, what brings them on, and your history. Then we'll create a treatment plan built around your specific needs.

We can also use pharmacogenetic testing to identify medications that match your genetics, which makes treatment more precise from the start.

👉🏾 Take your mental health back. Schedule your Initial Psychiatric Evaluation.

Valentine's Day after a breakup is hard.

Everywhere you look, there are reminders of what you lost. The ads, posts, happy couples can be exhausting.

Give yourself permission to feel it without rushing the process. Mute social media accounts that hurt. Lean on people who get it. Do something that feels grounding, even if it's small.

But if the grief is turning into something heavier like constant sadness, isolation, trouble functioning, or thoughts that scare you, reach out to me.

I'm a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in Nashville and Hendersonville, Tennessee. I help people who are stuck in grief, depression, or anxiety that won't lift.

In a 60-minute Initial Psychiatric Evaluation, we'll talk through what you're going through, how long it's been affecting you, and what you've already tried. Then we'll build a treatment plan that addresses what you're actually dealing with.

Pharmacogenetic testing is an option too, which helps us see how your body responds to different medications so we can find the right fit faster.

👉🏾 You can heal from this. Schedule your Initial Psychiatric Evaluation.

Self-compassion is not the same as letting yourself off the hook.

Self-compassion sounds like this: "I messed up, and I'm still learning. What can I do differently next time?"

Self-excuse sounds like this: "I messed up, but it's not really my fault. I had reasons."

One moves you forward. The other keeps you stuck.

Healthy self-talk acknowledges what happened without drowning you in shame or blame. It gives you room to grow without pretending the issue doesn't exist.

But if your inner voice is harsh no matter what you do, or if guilt is paralyzing you instead of motivating you, that's a sign something deeper needs attention.

I'm a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner serving Nashville and Hendersonville, Tennessee. I work with people who are stuck in patterns of self-criticism or avoidance.

My Initial Psychiatric Evaluations are 60 minutes where we talk through what you're experiencing, your history, and where you want to be. Then we create a treatment plan that's built for your specific situation.

Pharmacogenetic testing is also available to match you with medications your genetics will respond to, making treatment more effective from the start.

👉🏾 Struggling to quiet the harsh voice in your head? Schedule your Initial Psychiatric Evaluation.

When stress stays high, your body starts sounding the alarm.

Watch for these signs:

🚩 Tight chest, racing heart, or feeling on edge for no clear reason

🚩 Headaches, jaw clenching, and tense shoulders that won't loosen up

🚩 Stomach issues, nausea, appetite changes, or gut flare-ups

🚩 Trouble falling asleep, waking up tired, and brain fog during the day

🚩 Shallow breathing that keeps you keyed up

If your body is sending these signals, your nervous system needs support.

Initial Psychiatric Evaluations give us 60 minutes to go over what you're experiencing, your background, and what needs to shift. From there, we'll build a treatment plan designed specifically for you.

We can also use pharmacogenetic testing to see which medications your body responds to best, so we're working with your biology instead of against it.

Setting boundaries with the news can keep you informed without staying keyed up all day.

Constant updates train your brain to scan for danger. Anxiety goes up. Focus gets harder. Sleep gets disrupted.

Three ways to stay engaged without getting flooded:

🕰️ Pick two check-in times each day, then step away from the news outside those windows.

🔕 Turn off news alerts, skip comment sections, and unfollow accounts that spike your stress.

📌 Decide what you are checking for before visiting any site.

But if anxiety keeps pulling you back into the scroll, you need more than boundaries.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in Nashville and Hendersonville, Tennessee, I work with people stuck in patterns like this.

My Initial Psychiatric Evaluations are 60-minute sessions where we dig into your history, what you're experiencing now, and what you need. Then we build a treatment plan around you instead of a generic approach.

Pharmacogenetic testing is available too, which shows how your body processes different medications. This helps us find what works faster.

Avoiding your taxes because you're anxious? Well, your anxiety isn't going anywhere.

Procrastination brings relief in the moment. But then the stress seeps into everything else. You can't sleep. Emails pile up. One unopened letter becomes a mental spiral.

When money is tight or you're worried you messed something up, your brain can go into freeze mode. This is fear, not laziness.

Try picking one 10-minute action today. Open the letter. Create a folder. Find your login. Text your accountant. Then stop.

But if anxiety is running your life, you need more than small steps.

I'm a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in Nashville and Hendersonville, Tennessee, and I help people who feel stuck in cycles like this through Initial Psychiatric Evaluations.

During this 60-minute in-person session, I'll take time to understand your history, symptoms, and needs. Then we'll create a treatment plan tailored specifically for you.

We may also offer pharmacogenetic testing to see how your genes respond to certain medications, so we can find the best approach for your mental health goals.

Doomscrolling may be fueling your anxiety more than you realize.

Every heated comment, tragic headline, and rage-inducing post? Your nervous system reads it as a real threat. And it doesn't just turn off when you close the app.

The result: racing thoughts, tight chest, disrupted sleep, and that constant pull back to your phone even when you're exhausted.

Try putting your phone in another room for 30 minutes. Do something intentional to calm your nervous system. Stretch, shower, or step outside. Small resets matter.

But if anxiety is taking over your daily life, you don't have to manage it alone.

I'm a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in Nashville and Hendersonville, and I specialize in helping people break cycles like this.

And right now, I’m offering Initial Psychiatric Evaluations
