About align psychiatry

If you’ve ever thought,

"Something has changed, and I don’t feel like myself."

You're in the right place.

The care you receive at Align Psychiatry is calm, collaborative, and not rushed. The goal is not to squeeze you into a label. The goal is to understand your whole picture and help you move forward with clarity.

Meet Amanda

I didn't set out to build a traditional psychiatric practice. I set out to build one that actually felt different.

After years in nursing and mental health care, I kept seeing the same thing — people who were clearly struggling but didn't fit into a 15-minute appointment. People who had been told they were "doing fine" when they knew, deep down, they weren't. High-achievers. Caregivers. Women holding everything together with nothing left for themselves. I wanted to create a place where those people finally felt seen.

That's why I started Align Psychiatry.

I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and I bring both clinical training and genuine curiosity to every evaluation. I have a particular passion for working with adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, mood shifts, burnout, and the quiet unraveling that can come with major life transitions.

I don't believe in rushing to a diagnosis or handing you a prescription and sending you on your way. I want to understand your patterns, your history, your life — because that context is what makes a plan actually work.

My goal is simple: I want you to leave every appointment feeling clearer, steadier, and more like yourself.
