Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in St. George, UT
A non medication treatment option for depression and anxiety TMS uses gentle magnetic pulses to activate underactive areas of the brain. Many people turn to TMS when medications have not worked well or caused side effects. Safe. Non invasive. FDA cleared.

Reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety

TMS targets the parts of the brain where depression lives.
Depression is not a lack of willpower. It is not something you can “snap out of.” It is often connected to underactive areas of the brain that regulate mood, motivation, and emotional balance. When these areas are not firing the way they should, daily life can start to feel heavy, overwhelming, and exhausting.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is a non invasive treatment that works directly with the brain. TMS uses focused magnetic pulses to gently stimulate the regions involved in mood regulation. Over time, these pulses strengthen healthy neural activity so you can experience more stability, more clarity, and more energy in your day-to-day life.
Many people choose TMS when medications have not been enough or when side effects have limited their options. Sessions are comfortable, you stay fully awake, and there is no recovery period. You can return to your normal routine right after each treatment.
At Blue Chip, you receive TMS in a private and supportive environment with a team who understands how difficult it is to live with depression. You deserve a treatment that works with your brain and gives you a real chance to feel like yourself again.

As a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I specialize in providing prescribed medications as part of comprehensive psychiatric care for individuals of all ages.

I work closely with clients to ensure treatments are tailored to each person’s unique needs and goals.
I have treated clients ages 4 to 82, and my approach is rooted in understanding the social, emotional, and developmental factors that influence mental health. I focus on creating collaborative relationships where clients feel heard and supported in their mental health journey.
My Master’s Thesis at the University of Utah provided an opportunity to focus on Complementary and Alternative Medicines (CAM) for psychiatric conditions, and I continue to explore ways to integrate holistic practices into mental health care. I am also a Qualified Marijuana Provider (QMP), certified to prescribe medicinal marijuana for conditions like chronic pain and PTSD and refer to specialized EMDR therapist to support a complete range of services.
Whether you are struggling with inattentiveness, insomnia, compulsive behaviors, anxiety, psychosis, poor motivation, racing thoughts, mood changes after a concussive injury, you name it, I am here to help.

TMS Can Help You Or Your Teen With:
Depression
TMS is often used when depression symptoms have not improved with medication. It gently stimulates areas of the brain involved in mood regulation and can support gradual mood improvement.
Anxiety
TMS can help calm overactive neural pathways that contribute to worry, tension, and restlessness. Many people report feeling more regulated and grounded over time.
PTSD Symptoms
TMS may support individuals experiencing trauma-related symptoms by helping regulate brain activity involved in emotional processing and stress responses.
OCD Symptoms
Certain FDA-cleared TMS protocols can help reduce intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors by targeting brain regions involved in decision-making and regulation.
Low Self-Esteem or Low Motivation
TMS may improve the brain’s ability to regulate mood and focus, helping individuals feel more motivated, engaged, and confident in daily life.
Emotional Dysregulation
By stabilizing neural circuits involved in emotional control, TMS may help individuals who feel reactive, shut down, or “stuck.”
Chronic Stress
TMS can help the brain shift out of constant “fight or flight,” supporting a calmer, more resilient stress response.
Brain Fog or Concentration Issues
Many individuals report clearer thinking, improved focus, and better cognitive functioning as treatment progresses.
Symptoms Not Improving With Medication
TMS is often recommended when traditional medications haven’t provided enough relief or caused unwanted side effects. It offers a non-medication, noninvasive option.
Sleep Disturbances
Some people experience improvements in sleep quality as mood and anxiety symptoms begin to stabilize during TMS treatment.
