Care begins with feeling heard.
I'm Ruth Mburu, MSN, AGNP, PMHNP-BC — a dual-certified Adult-Gerontology and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 15 years of healthcare experience. I believe meaningful mental health care starts with feeling truly heard, understood, and respected.
I provide individualized psychiatric care for school-age children, adolescents, adults, and older adults — and I have a special interest in supporting young people and their families through the challenges that affect emotional and mental wellbeing. My approach weaves together evidence-based medication management with a holistic view of your physical health, life experiences, and personal goals.
I take time to listen, explain your options clearly, and build a care plan with you — never for you. At Nexus Health Services, my goal is simple: to offer a welcoming space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to move toward better mental health.
