Hi, I'm Stephanie.

I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and the founder of Journeys Mental Health & Wellness. I provide compassionate, individualized care for adults 18 years and older who are navigating a wide range of mental health challenges and life transitions.

​

At Journeys, I believe every person’s path is unique. Life brings moments of change—new roles, evolving relationships, loss, or simply the need to reconnect with or discover who you are. My goal is to help you navigate these transitions with understanding, balance, and renewed purpose.

​

My approach is collaborative and person-centered. I take time to truly listen and partner with you in developing a care plan that aligns with your goals and values. I believe that growth and change happen through trust, connection, and a safe space to explore your experiences without judgment.

My background includes years of experience in inpatient psychiatry, case management, addiction treatment, maternal/child healthcare, and public health nursing, which taught me to see the whole person, not just the diagnosis. I have also been actively involved in the foster care and adoption community. I earned my R.N. from Highland Community College in Freeport, IL, my BSN from Grand Canyon University, and my MSN with a specialization in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from the University of Illinois at Chicago/Rockford. Since moving to Arizona in 2017, I’ve been honored to serve this community as a PMHNP. When I’m not working, I enjoy time with my family, exploring nature and new destinations, and my Miniature Schnauzer.

​

If you’re seeking a thoughtful and supportive approach to your mental health, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward wholeness, growth, and balance.
