Welcome to Desert Creek Mental Health. I'm Jessica, a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I believe strongly in the mind-body connection and use a variety of evidence-based approaches to meet the needs of my patients in order to achieve a high quality of life. I have steered my practice away from the modern model of short appointments that make you feel rushed and unimportant. I see a limited number of patients each day so that I have the time to get to know you and gain a deeper understanding of what you are experiencing, so together we can come to the correct diagnosis and best treatment plan.
My specialty is adult psychiatry (18-65) and I treat a wide range of conditions including depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar & PTSD. Much of my 10+ years in healthcare has been in women's/ maternal care therefore meeting the mental health needs of this unique population is a particular passion of mine.
Mental health can be a difficult thing to acknowledge or discuss for many people. At Desert Creek Mental Health, you will not be judged or shamed for what you are going through. Call to schedule an appointment for a complete psychiatric evaluation so we can begin your journey to healing.

I think we can all benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to some degree and like to incorporate it into most sessions. Through this, we explore underlying and subconscious thought patterns and how they can impact your emotions, actions and reactions.
