Hi, I’m Jessica, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and founder of Grounded Psychiatry, a virtual functional and integrative mental health practice serving clients in Atlanta, Vinings, Johns Creek, Cumming, Roswell, Alpharetta, and across Georgia, Washington, Montana, Nevada, Alaska, and Hawaii.

I help high-functioning adults struggling with anxiety, depression, insomnia, burnout, or medication side effects find clarity, calm, and lasting relief with or without medication. My passion for this work is deeply personal.

For years, peace and happiness felt just out of reach. Chronic stress and unresolved trauma kept my nervous system stuck in survival mode. During the pandemic, while working in the ICU, I hit rock bottom. I was exhausted, burned out, and overwhelmed. The earliest psychiatrist appointment was three months away, so I began my own search for answers.

I dove into neuroscience, functional medicine, and integrative psychiatry, and by the time my appointment arrived, my panic attacks were gone without daily medication. That turning point became my mission.

I later trained with Dr. James Greenblatt, one of the nation’s leading functional medicine psychiatrists, and expanded my knowledge by learning from the research and teachings of experts such as Dr. Daniel Amen and Dr. Andrew Huberman. Over the years, I developed The Grounded Approach™, a root-cause framework combining advanced lab testing, genetic insights, nervous system repair, and personalized psychiatry to help clients feel better for good.

Today, I work with people who feel stuck, numb, dismissed, or unsure where to turn, especially those wanting to safely reduce or stop medications. My goal is simple: help you feel like yourself again, clear, calm, and grounded.

I have been where you are, and I know how life-changing the right support can be.
