About Alaezsha
Alaezsha is a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who is able to provide individual therapy for clients 6+ and will soon provide psychiatric medication management for clients ages 12 and older. She especially enjoys working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, and ADHD.
Her approach is collaborative and whole-person focused. Alaezsha looks beyond symptoms alone and considers factors such as sleep, nutrition, physical activity, stress, and daily routines when developing a treatment plan. Depending on the client’s needs, care may include medications, evidence-based supplements, therapy, lifestyle changes, or a combination of approaches.
Therapy is an important part of Alaezsha’s work. During her graduate training, she spent two semesters providing individual therapy at Foundations, gaining experience with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). She draws on this experience both in her individual therapy sessions and when incorporating therapeutic strategies into medication management visits. She values helping clients better understand themselves, develop practical coping skills, and make meaningful changes in their everyday lives.
Before becoming a nurse practitioner, Alaezsha worked as a registered nurse in the emergency department and in a ketamine infusion clinic. These experiences helped shape her interest in mental health and her approach to caring for people during difficult and vulnerable moments.
Outside of work, Alaezsha is happiest with an audiobook playing and her hands busy, whether she is cooking, gardening, crafting, or searching for thrift store treasures. Most of all, she enjoys spending time with her husband, their dog, Frankie, and the rest of her delightfully large family.
