Hello! I’m Charlotte, a doctorate level, board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. When medication is a part of your overall plan to manage and improve your mental health, I’m your person.
In order to help you achieve your best self, we will approach your mental health struggles through a non-judgmental perspective, utilizing a combination of therapeutic approaches – I routinely apply Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), pairing these therapies with a carefully selected medication regimen.
I believe that trust is the glue that holds all relationships together, and trust is based on integrity. Because of that I work best with patients who genuinely want to get better and are willing to put in the hard work to better their lives. I invest a lot of effort, thought, and knowledge into each one of my patients and get the best results when there is an investment from you as well. My patients often say that they feel that I sincerely care about them, and they’re right – because I treat each person who comes to me looking for help in their lives as if they were part of my family. If you’re willing to take the courageous step and reach out for help with your mental health, then I will be there on the other end helping you improve your quality of life.

Have you ever left a doctor’s visit and not felt that your medical provider was going to invest the time to conduct the detective work to figure out what’s really at the root of your medical concerns? Have you worked with mental health providers who you feel can sympathize with you, but do not actually understand what you are dealing with or going through? Have you worked with providers who didn’t get back to you promptly, left your emails unanswered, medication refill requests not refilled before you ran out?
When we work together you will find yourself with a mental health provider who will not stop at the symptoms of your distress – I will put in the extra work to get to the root causes of your issues. This might include referrals for formal psychological testing or treatment, consultation, or a referral for specific bloodwork. I believe that knowledge, expertise, and excellence in how one treats one’s patients is not based on a sense of doctor-patient superiority. My passion lies in systemic changes to better my patients’ lives, always offering my perspective on how you can improve your life. I will always add it is up to you how you choose to proceed. Because ultimately it is your life, your body, your decision. I will answer the most intricate, intimate, or even embarrassing questions related to your treatment in an environment in which things are warm, authentic, and open. I have lived in different countries and cultures, and I believe that these unique experiences are one of my biggest assets as a mental health provider. Decades of living in many countries, each with completely different cultures and ideals and their vastly different economic, political, religious, ideological environments have allowed me to incorporate a more comprehensive, accepting, empathetic, and holistic approach to my practice. And finally, I will get back to your questions and refill requests within the day (Monday-Friday) you send them to me. I take pride in being fully responsible and responsive even outside of our appointment times.
Many people feel that our medical system has failed them. This is why I went into private practice, so as not to be confined to the outdated treatment algorithms that just don’t work – and to provide time and space to get to the foundational causes of what’s going on. I take all forms of insurance and currently have immediate openings – let’s get to work, together!

I’m Istvan – your billing and administrative specialist, working closely alongside my sister, your healthcare provider.
My main goal is to make sure you never feel lost in the shuffle. Whether it’s billing questions, insurance paperwork, or any administrative need, I’m here to make the process as smooth, seamless and stress-free as possible. I’ll always aim to respond to your emails within 24 hours (weekends excluded), and email is my preferred way to communicate so I can give thoughtful, detailed responses.
It’s a privilege to support my sister in her practice – together, we’re here to provide you with care that’s not only clinically sound but also well-coordinated behind the scenes. Whether your needs are health-related or administrative, we’ll work together to find a solution that works for you.
A bit about me: I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and split my time between the US and Europe. I have a background in architecture, a decade of experience in creative and detail-oriented work, and a strong passion for photography, cooking from scratch, and traditional food techniques like fermenting and souring. I’m also deeply engaged in contemporary dance and solo improvisation. My multidisciplinary background gives me a unique perspective—and I bring that same care, focus, enthusiasm and creativity to supporting you.
Looking forward to working with you!
