Meet Darshana
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with extensive experience working in outpatient settings, providing care to patients ages five and up. I chose a career in mental healthcare out of a deep commitment to advocating for individuals with mental health conditions—particularly because this population is often underserved due to the persistent stigma surrounding mental illness. My clinical expertise includes treating a wide range of mental health conditions, with a special focus on anxiety, depression, generalized anxiety disorder, PTSD, insomnia, OCD, ADHD, autism, and dementia. I utilize a comprehensive approach that integrates both medication management and psychotherapy to support each patient’s unique needs and goals. I am board-certified by the ANCC, and I apply this training to improve outcomes and ensure high-quality, evidence-based care. While my primary focus areas include anxiety, depression, PTSD, generalized anxiety disorder, and insomnia, I also have broad experience treating many other mental health disorders. My goal is always to create a supportive, compassionate environment where patients feel heard, understood, and empowered in their mental health journey.
