I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who provides compassionate, patient-centered care for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, and stress-related concerns. I focus on creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and understood. My goal is to help you gain clarity, improve your daily functioning, and feel more like yourself again. Whether you’re new to treatment or continuing your mental health journey, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
I’m so glad you’re here. Navigating through adulthood comes with unique obstacles, especially in an era that we are saturated with social media, which keeps us connected, yet simultaneously challenges authentic connection.
Whether you’re exploring your identity, seeking affirming relationships, struggling with communication, facing societal pressures, or working through past experiences, I want you to know that you are seen, you are valued, and you are supported.
I take an eclectic approach to therapy; I tailor therapy to your needs. I am well-acquainted with Psychodynamic Therapy, and am receiving ongoing training in Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT) , Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) Therapy. I specialize in Anxiety, Trauma, Phobias, OCD, BPD and Relationship issues.
My practice is an inclusive and affirming space where you can bring your full self—without fear of judgment. You deserve to be heard, understood and valued. If you’re ready to take the next step, I invite you to reach out for a free 15 minute consultation. Let’s work together to help you create a life that feels more aligned, fulfilling, and true to who you are.

Hi, I’m Rayan, a licensed mental health counselor who’s passionate about helping people feel seen, understood, and supported. I specialize in working with clients navigating anxiety, life transitions, identity exploration, and burnout.
I primarily treat patients experiencing anxiety and depression, as well as conditions such as OCD, ADHD, and mood disorders. My approach is holistic, addressing the physiological, cognitive, and emotional aspects of mental health to support overall well-being.
As a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a Doctorate in Nursing Practice from the University of Central Florida, I am committed to providing comprehensive, patient-centered care. I believe in treating the whole person—mind, body, and soul—and meeting each individual where they are in their journey.
Seeking support is a sign of strength—something we all need at times. Simply putting words to what you’ve been carrying can feel like a weight lifted. With an objective, supportive partner, you can gain clarity about where you are and where you want to go. When you’re ready, you’re welcome to reach out or schedule an appointment.
If you're constantly questioning yourself after a toxic relationship, feeling stuck in anxiety, struggling to trust again, or carrying the weight of emotional abuse, you're not alone. Many of the women I work with are healing from narcissistic abuse, betrayal trauma, domestic violence, relationship wounds, depression, stress, or overwhelming self-doubt. Together, we'll help you reconnect with your voice, rebuild your confidence, establish healthy boundaries, and create a life that feels safe, fulfilling, and truly your own.
