Kristy is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 25 years of nursing experience and a passion for helping people feel heard, understood, and empowered in their mental health journey. Her clinical background includes emergency care, inpatient psychiatry, and outpatient psychiatric treatment. Her journey into mental health care grew from years of seeing firsthand how deeply emotional well-being affects every aspect of a person’s life. Today, through Tranquil Waters of Hope, LLC, she provides compassionate, individualized psychiatric care for adults. Kristy believes effective mental health treatment is not one-size-fits-all. She takes time to understand each client as a whole person and works collaboratively to develop personalized treatment plans that may include medication management, education, supportive therapy, and practical strategies for lasting change. Her goal is simple: to create a safe, judgment-free space where clients feel heard, supported, and hopeful—and to help each person move toward greater balance, confidence, and a more fulfilling life.
