Kristy is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Solene Psychiatry & Wellness. With more than a decade of experience in healthcare, her background spans outpatient psychiatry, medication management, interventional psychiatry, emergency psychiatric stabilization, critical care nursing, and nursing education.

Kristy believes mental health care should be as individual as the person receiving it. Her approach begins with understanding your story, your goals, and what matters most to you, then developing a thoughtful treatment plan that evolves with your needs. She specializes in psychiatric medication management and multimodal psychiatric care, integrating evidence-based pharmacotherapy with psychotherapy-informed interventions and consideration of sleep, movement, nutrition, stress, hormonal health, and other factors that may influence mental wellbeing.

She has particular clinical interests in depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, mood disorders, trauma-related conditions, women’s and reproductive mental health, and treatment-resistant depression. Her experience in interventional psychiatry includes specialized care with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Spravato® (esketamine), offering an expanded perspective for patients who have not achieved adequate relief with traditional treatments. When clinically appropriate, TMS and Spravato® evaluation and treatment can be coordinated through her affiliation with SoCal TMS.

Kristy’s philosophy is that psychiatric care does not have to be limited to a single modality. Medication, psychotherapy, lifestyle interventions, and advanced treatments can each have a place in care. The goal is to thoughtfully determine which combination makes sense for the individual, while keeping the patient informed, involved, and at the center of every decision.

Your story. Your goals. Your care.
