Haelan Psychiatry & Wellness
Haelan means to heal, to make whole, to make sound or well.
This meaning reflects our mission as a practice: to care for the whole person and support true, lasting wellness.
A history tidbit for you! .….The word “Haelan” was first introduced by migrant Anglo-Saxon tribes around 450 AD during the Old English era that was once known as the Dark Ages. The Old English meaning of Haelan is to heal, to make whole, to make sound or well. During that time, medical practices lacked scientific understanding of medicine, relying on the study of natural and spiritual resources for healing, recognizing that all parts of what makes us human are interconnected. An individual is of mind, body, and spirit – a unified entity which cannot be divided. Haelan encompasses physical, mental, and spiritual healing.
At Haelan Psychiatry & Wellness, our perspective and approach to care is foundational to integrating holistic health into modern day medicine.
Our team is dedicated to providing a safe and non-judgmental space for all and committed to supporting you on your journey to health and wellness. We look forward to meeting you!

So many factors contribute to why we feel what we feel and how our bodies respond to things. There are countless moving parts to the beautifully imperfect human body and mind, and it is my passion to continue exploring, learning, and advancing my knowledge to help support others along the way. My own journey has led me to pursue additional advanced education, training, and certification in psychiatric mental health beyond obtaining a doctorate in nursing practice and certification in adult-gerontology acute care medicine. Attaining dual certifications and practice experience in both mental health and acute care significantly influenced my perspective on one’s overall well-being and consideration of all factors – body, mind, and spirit. This embeds within the roots of my own transformative growth, and what has paved the way to this point, the establishment of Haelan Psychiatry & Wellness.
I am committed to providing support through the process of transformative healing in a safe space free of judgment or bias. In our work together, we’ll develop self-awareness and exploration techniques as the foundation of incredibly rewarding transformative growth. Together, we will develop a plan of care tailored to your specific needs and preferences, including medication management according to best practice guidelines in support of recovery and healing as appropriate. It is my privilege to be part of your journey.
