Dr. Kayla Masika Ulmer

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of nursing experience. I hold a Master of Science in Nursing with a specialization in Family Nurse Practice, and a Post-Graduate Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health from Herzing University. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care for individuals facing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, and other mental health concerns.

My approach is patient-centered, combining medication management with supportive therapy tailored to each individual’s needs. I’m committed to creating a safe, respectful space where patients feel heard and empowered. I am also a member of the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing, reflecting my dedication to clinical excellence and lifelong learning.

New patients are welcome, and I look forward to supporting you on your path to mental wellness.
