A luna moth with wings spread against green foliage

About

A private practice, devoted to women's mental health.

I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I founded LUNA Mind & Wellness in 2025 to create a calm, unhurried space where women can be truly seen — and supported.

Women carry distinct stories: hormonal shifts, caregiving roles, trauma, grief, ambition, identity. My work is to honor that complexity with thorough assessment and a plan of care built around you.

That plan may include supportive psychotherapy, EMDR for trauma processing, or symptom management with medication — alone or in combination. We decide together.

The Name

Why Luna.

Luna means moon — and women move with the moon. Our menstrual cycles rise and fall in roughly the same rhythm, and our bodies and emotions move through phases that wax, wane, and return.

That cycling doesn't stop at our monthly period. As we enter perimenopause and menopause, the rhythm shifts again — quieter some months, uncertain in others, never quite the same twice. Honoring those phases, rather than fighting them, is at the heart of how we care for women here.

The name also calls to the luna moth — a rare and luminous creature that represents metamorphosis, surrender before renewal, and the passage between identities. Before it ever takes flight, the caterpillar enters a chrysalis and dissolves — enzymes break down its former structure into something near-liquid before reorganizing into something entirely new. The luna moth does not eat in its adult form; it lives only briefly, drawn toward light, continuing the cycle.

This is not poetic exaggeration. It is how transformation works. When a luna moth appears in your life, it often coincides with a liminal season — a threshold you did not consciously choose. Dissolution is not failure; it is often a precursor to emergence. The moth does not create your transformation. It reflects what is already ripening within you.

From dissolution to emergence — a quiet kind of becoming.

Owner & Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

My path to psychiatry was not linear — and perhaps that is exactly what makes it meaningful. I completed my bachelor's in psychology at the University of Michigan, then stepped away from graduate school to pray, explore, and wait for clarity.

In 2002, everything shifted. I attended the birth of a woman abandoned by her husband, accompanied only by a doula. The experience was so powerful that I entered doula training within months. I knew, without doubt, that I wanted to support women through their most vulnerable moments.

That calling led me to nursing. I earned my BSN from Madonna University, spent time in emergency medicine, and then found my home in perinatal health at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. After four years, I moved to California for travel nursing — living in Roseville, San Francisco, and Santa Clara, working for Kaiser Permanente and UCSF-Mission Bay.

California changed me. I was introduced to meditation and mindfulness, attended retreat at Esalen, and began studying transpersonal psychology at Sophia University in Palo Alto. In 2020, I gave birth to my son — and faced my own postpartum depression and anxiety. I completed training in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction in 2021, earned my Master's in Transpersonal Psychology in 2022, and then finally felt ready to pursue the clinical training I had once postponed.

I completed my Master's in Nursing with a psychiatric specialty at Chamberlain University, trained in EMDR, and graduated in 2024. After working in the field, I became deeply aware of how hormones shape mental health — and made it my mission to understand that dynamic and treat it with precision and care. In 2025, I completed specialized training in perinatal mental health through Postpartum Support International.

I founded LUNA with all of this in mind — my own lived experience, every training, every lesson learned — so I could give back in the most meaningful way I know.
