Dr. Kimara is a dual-licensed psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) and naturopathic physician with  25 years of experience in bridging mental health, critical care, and integrative medicine. Her practice combines evidence-informed integrative psychiatry, clinical nutrition, and personalized botanical therapies (including her own handcrafted herbal formulations and medicinal salves) to address the causes of mental and physical imbalances.
