The questions behind the search
Will she listen?
The first appointment is built around your account of what is happening — not a form. Justina explains what she is seeing in plain language and checks that it matches your experience.
Can she manage my medications safely?
Medication management is the core of the practice, and includes a full review of everything you take, attention to your other health conditions, and follow-up that adjusts as you respond.
Does she understand older adults?
Justina has spent most of her advanced-practice career with older adults in skilled-nursing settings: late-life mood disorders, dementia-related behavior, medication safety, and the realities families face.
What if my health is complicated?
Her years in transplant, neuro-ICU, and critical-care nursing mean that kidney, heart, liver, and diabetic conditions are part of how she thinks about every prescription.
Meet Justina
A nurse first, and a psychiatric provider who looks at the whole picture
Justina came to psychiatry from the bedside: transplant and trauma nursing, neuro intensive care, and critical care, caring for some of the most medically fragile patients in the hospital. As a nurse practitioner she spent years with older adults in skilled nursing, where psychiatric and behavioral needs are part of daily care, before completing formal specialization and board certification in psychiatric mental health.
What that means for you is a provider who looks at the whole picture: your symptoms, your medical conditions, every medication you take, and the people around you — and who explains what she sees in plain language.
- Doctor of Nursing Practice; board-certified PMHNP and NP-C
- Deep experience with medication safety and polypharmacy
- A particular focus on older adults and their families
Treatment philosophy
Evidence-based, unhurried, and clear
Understand before treating
A diagnosis is a working understanding, arrived at carefully, and revisited as more is learned. Nothing is prescribed before the whole picture is clear.
Medication with a reason
Every medication should have a purpose you understand. When one no longer serves a purpose, removing it is as important as adding one was.
The whole person
Sleep, pain, medical conditions, other medications, and the people around you all shape mental health. Treatment accounts for all of them.
Clear about next steps
You should leave every visit knowing what is happening, why, what to watch for, and when to call.
Conditions we treat
Is this something she can help with?
You do not need to know the diagnosis before you call. Here is what each condition can look like in everyday life.
Depression & Mood Disorders
Persistent low mood, loss of interest, fatigue, or hopelessness — including depression that appears alongside medical illness or later in life.
About depressionAnxiety & Panic
Persistent worry, restlessness, panic attacks, or avoidance that interferes with work, relationships, or sleep.
About anxiety & panicBipolar Disorder
Episodes of elevated energy, reduced need for sleep, or irritability alternating with depression — including bipolar I, bipolar II, and cyclothymia.
About bipolar disorderPTSD & Trauma-Related Disorders
Lasting effects after frightening or overwhelming events — nightmares, hypervigilance, avoidance, or emotional numbness.
About PTSD & traumaSchizophrenia & Psychotic Disorders

About psychotic disordersDementia-Related Behavioral Changes

About dementia-related behaviorLooking for help for a parent?
Many people reach out on behalf of an aging family member. Justina evaluates mood, behavior, and cognition-related concerns with medications and medical complexity in view — and includes family in the plan with the patient's permission.

Common questions
Answers before you call
What happens at the first appointment?
The first visit is a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. Justina asks about what brought you in, your symptoms and how they affect your life, your medical and psychiatric history, current medications, and what you hope will change. By the end you should have a working understanding of the diagnosis in plain language, a discussion of options, and a clear sense of the next step. Bring a list of your medications and, if you have them, prior records.
Do you provide medication management?
Yes. Medication management is central to the practice. Justina reviews everything you take, prescribes and adjusts psychiatric medication after an individualized evaluation, monitors response, side effects, and labs where needed, and simplifies regimens when it is safe to do so. She has particular experience with people who take many medications or have other health conditions.
Who does Rosecare see?
Adults and older adults. Geriatric psychiatry — including care for people with dementia and for families supporting an aging parent — is a particular focus.
Can a family member or caregiver be involved?
Yes, with your permission. Family involvement often improves outcomes, particularly for older adults. Family members can attend visits and receive education about the diagnosis, the medications, and how to help.
Do you accept insurance?
Insurance participation varies by plan. The office will confirm whether your plan is accepted when you get in touch.
