Yes. As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I provide psychiatric evaluations and prescribe medication when appropriate.

Medication is never a one-size-fits-all solution. We'll discuss the potential benefits, risks, and alternatives together so you can make informed decisions that align with your goals.

Not at all. Many people schedule an evaluation because they're unsure whether medication is right for them. My role is to help you explore your options—not pressure you into taking medication.

If medication isn't appropriate or isn't something you're interested in, we'll explore evidence-informed holistic approaches and lifestyle interventions that may better support your goals.

Yes. My appointments integrate psychotherapy alongside medication management and holistic interventions.

If you already have a therapist, I'm happy to collaborate with them to help ensure your care is coordinated and supports you as a whole person. When appropriate, I also coordinate with your primary care provider and other members of your care team to ensure comprehensive care.

If I believe additional psychotherapy or other healing modalities would be beneficial, I'll connect you with trusted colleagues whose expertise complements your care.

Psychiatrists and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners are both trained to diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and provide therapeutic interventions. The primary difference is in our educational pathways. Psychiatrists complete medical school followed by a residency in psychiatry. Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners complete nursing school and often go on to work as a registered nurse in a mental health setting, followed by completing specialized graduate training in psychiatric care.

Psychiatrists are trained in the medical model, which emphasizes the diagnosis, symptoms, and treatment of disease. The nursing model focuses on understanding the whole person within the context of biological, psychological, social, and spiritual experiences. My nursing foundation continues to shape how I practice.

I maintain a collaborative relationship with a board-certified psychiatrist as required in California.

I believe learning is a lifelong process and am committed to continually deepening my clinical knowledge through advanced education, consultation, and ongoing training in psychiatry, psychotherapy, trauma-informed care, and relational approaches to healing.

My approach is rooted in relational psychiatry, integrating intentional medication management with psychodynamic psychotherapy, attachment theory, nervous-system-informed care, and lifestyle medicine to understand the whole person, looking beyond your diagnosis and symptoms.

This depends on your individual needs and goals.

Some people benefit from meeting every week or every few weeks during the beginning of treatment, while others transition to less frequent follow-up visits once they're feeling more stable.

We'll decide on a schedule together and adjust it as your needs evolve.

I understand that questions can come up between visits. Established clients are welcome to reach out for non-urgent questions related to medications or treatment. I strive to respond within 2 business days. If a concern requires more time, I’ll recommend scheduling a follow-up appointment so we can discuss it together.

Soulfloria Psychiatry is a private-pay practice.

Choosing not to participate in insurance networks allows me to provide longer appointments, individualized care, and treatment decisions that are guided by your clinical needs rather than insurance requirements.

If your plan offers out-of-network benefits, I'm happy to provide a superbill that you may submit for potential reimbursement.

In accordance with the No Surprises Act, A Good Faith Estimate will be provided upon request before services begin, within 3 business days.

You may be a good fit if you:

• Are looking for care that goes beyond symptom management.

• Value curiosity, collaboration, and a whole-person approach.

• Are interested in understanding the patterns contributing to your mental health.

• See healing as a process and are open to exploring both medication and non-medication approaches when appropriate.

• Want a provider who takes the time to build a therapeutic relationship.

It may not be the best fit if you:

• Are looking for brief 10–15 minute medication visits.

• Prefer medication management without exploring other aspects of your mental health.

• Are seeking a one-size-fits-all approach to treatment.

Finding the right fit matters. If I don't believe I'm the best person to support your goals, I'm happy to help connect you with trusted colleagues who may be a better fit.
