Getting to know Jessica Heather
Hi, I’m Heather. I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and I’m here to help you navigate life’s challenges with compassion, understanding, and care that feels personal to you. I believe mental health care works best when you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself.
I bring more than 15 years of nursing experience across intensive care, emergency medicine, home health, and juvenile detention settings. These experiences have given me a broad perspective on the challenges individuals and families face and have shaped the compassionate, patient-centered approach I bring to psychiatric care.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, burnout, stress, and other mental health concerns. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can talk openly about what you’re going through and feel supported as we work toward meaningful change.
My approach is collaborative, holistic, and individualized to your needs, goals, and lifestyle. Depending on what works best for you, treatment may include medication management, therapy recommendations, lifestyle changes, or a combination of approaches. Together, we’ll develop a plan that feels realistic, sustainable, and focused on improving your overall well-being and quality of life.
I strive to bring warmth, openness, and understanding to every appointment. Wherever you are in your mental health journey, I’ll meet you there without judgment and work alongside you as you move forward.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our three children, and our goldendoodle.
I offer psychiatric evaluations and medication management through secure telepsychiatry appointments, making compassionate, evidence-based mental health care accessible from the comfort of home.

I’ve been bouncing between psychiatrists trying to find someone who actually makes me feel safe and understood. Even though this appointment was virtual, she immediately created a welcoming, comfortable space. She has a relatable way of communicating that makes it easy to open up, and I felt genuinely listened to the entire time. I left the session with a sense of relief I didn’t expect. If you’re looking for a psychiatrist who truly listens and makes you feel supported, she’s absolutely the one.
