Hello, my name is Ashley

I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner in Hawaii and Michigan, specializing in reproductive psychiatry.

Why This Work:

I kept seeing the same gap. Someone brings real symptoms to a provider, gets a diagnosis and a prescription, and never has the chance to actually understand what's underneath it. Root causes go unexamined. Integrative options like nutrition and lab work rarely come up. Pregnancy and postpartum widen that gap even further. Providers grow hesitant, treatment gets paused, and you're stuck going back and forth instead of getting real answers. I wanted to build something different, care that starts with understanding, not just a diagnosis.

How I Practice:

I start by listening, really listening, before we talk about a plan. Every person's story is different, and your treatment plan should reflect that, not a template. We build it around your goals, not just your symptoms.

My approach is holistic. Medication can be part of the plan, but it's one tool among several, not the default. Depending on what you need, we might also look at nutrition, movement, sleep, and supplements, the everyday things that shape how you feel just as much as anything else. I'll walk you through why I'm recommending something, what the alternatives are, and what to expect, so you're not left guessing.

And you won't be doing this alone. If you already have an OB, a therapist, or another provider you trust, I'll work alongside them instead of asking you to start over.

Outside of Clinic:

When I’m not in session, you’ll likely find me outdoors with my husband and three children, reading at the beach, or trying out a new recipe in the kitchen. I aim to practice what I preach, and prioritize sleep, nutrition, exercise, and balance.
