We have a son who has needed psychiatric care for the past 2 years, and when we 1st started, it was a really hard step to take because we were not sure if it was the right one to take! Sommer is amazing and listened to our needs and concerns regarding our son. We had to start somewhere and we are so glad that she was the first person we started with!! We could not have went with anyone better! She is absolutely amazing. She has always had the best interest for our son and continues to make sure he is good with his continuing needs! When something comes up and we need something she responds with in an hour or two and I never have to worry! I would Highly recommend Sommer to anyone especially friends or family looking for someone they know they can trust! Thank you Sommer for everything you do! We greatly appreciate you!
Sommer is an wonderful provider! She has helped me profusely, she takes the time to understand what you actually need and how medication to be beneficial in your individual situation instead of trying to quickly provide you something. She is attentive, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgable. She cares about your progress and your healing journey, I couldn't recommend her more!
I’ve had the privilege of knowing Sommer both professionally and academically, and I can say without hesitation that she is one of the most compassionate, knowledgeable, and grounded psychiatric nurse practitioners I know. We worked together previously and also went through graduate school at the same time, and I’ve seen firsthand the integrity and dedication she brings to mental health care. Beyond her clinical skill, she has personally supported me through difficult periods and has been a steady, encouraging mentor throughout my journey. She listens without judgment, offers thoughtful guidance, and truly meets people where they are. Her ability to balance clinical expertise with genuine human connection is rare. If you’re looking for a provider who is deeply committed, insightful, and truly cares about her patients’ growth and well-being, I highly recommend her.

I have been seeing Sommer for two years, and she has always been amazing. She listens carefully, understands how I feel, and makes me feel supported. Sommer truly cares about her patients and always goes the extra mile to help. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for kind, caring, and professional care.
Sommer has managed my care for a few years now and I have never been in better care. Most places treat your care with pushing medication, but Sommer co-manages your care with you by providing kindness, care, no judgement and keeping your medication at the lowest dose that works. You can tell that she truly enjoys what she does and that it is her purpose. You will not be let down and she will support whatever is best for you!
I have been seeing Sommer for about three years and my experience with her has been amazing; she is very attentive and always makes me validated in what I say and feel. She recently started her own practice, and when I initially switched over from her previous practice my insurance wasn’t supported, however in the process of gaining them as a provider Sommer saw me free of charge and made sure I still had a sufficient supply of medication which shows me that she truly cares about the well being of her patients.
Sommer has helped me on my journey. Helping guide and providing information at every return Supportive in my needs, And throughout the three years have had the best communication that I’ve experienced when working with a mental health professional. I found her at a very difficult time in my life, and I’ve only seen an improvement since working with her.
