I have always maintained an empathic and compassionate nature, and have devoted my career to serving many individuals, both children and adults from all walks of life.
Hi I'm Scherra, I will be fully dedicated and committed to you, as my patient, to ensure you feel your best again in a short period of time! As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I have years of experience in diverse roles in numerous care settings, from working in med-surg, ER, IMC, outpatient, and case management. Throughout these years of experience, I have faced numerous situations, where recognizing and understanding the importance of a patient’s overall mental health was an essential part in providing effective treatment.

Waitlist for new clients
We'll make decisions as a team, and I'll work closely with your other doctors, schools, therapists, and anyone else you want involved in your/your child's care.
I’m a double board certified child & adult psychiatrist. I work with two age groups: 3 to 17-year-olds with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD/trauma, autism, & OCD. I’m LGB, Trans, Non-Binary & Genderqueer affirming with related training & experience. I also see 18 to 32-year-olds who are BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), autistic or LGBTQIA2S+, especially gender diverse folks. I can do assessments for gender affirming surgery. I’ve limited my adult intakes to improve access to care for marginalized populations due to a shortage of psychiatrists trained in providing affirming care.

I am here to help professional men, women and their children who are struggling with anxiety, depression, mood swings and addiction. For those who are unable to overcome their mental health issues with talk therapy alone, medication can seem like a daunting option. The stigma of taking psychiatric medications in some ethnic groups can prevent them from getting the help they truly need and living the life they truly want. Depression, anxiety and ADHD are roadblocks to achieving personal goals, interacting with loved ones and being the best version of yourself. Feel respected and valued, from one professional to another.
