Aloha! Most people call me “Dr. A.” I’m a doctorally trained Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner whose approach is shaped by service in the armed forces, seminary, and caring for people with serious mental illness and I believe the best mental health care starts with feeling genuinely heard, respected, and understood.
