Julie Morgan-Vaughn PMHNP-BC
Board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
My journey toward mental health began in maternal and child nursing, where I witnessed firsthand how becoming a parent is truly a life-changing experience. This transition can be both joyful and deeply challenging. I believe individuals and families need compassionate support—especially in nurturing their mental and emotional wellness—so they can truly blossom.
I believe there are many paths to mental health and healing. My philosophy is to provide a welcoming space where you can freely explore your personal experiences. Together, we’ll work to find the supportive care and holistic strategies that best meet your unique needs.
As a clinician my passion is working with those individuals with anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma, and grief. I also specialize in women’s health including infertility, lactation, postpartum depression, and menopause.
When not at work I enjoy camping with my family, photography, gardening, paddle boarding and rockhounding.
