Alek is a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who provides psychiatry services and facilitates ketamine treatments for patients at NeuroSpa. Alek began her nursing career in New York as a float RN, gaining diverse experience across Med–Surg, PCU, Mother–Baby, and the Emergency Department. During the pandemic, Alek transitioned into the Cardiac ICU- caring for high-acuity patients during one of the most challenging times in healthcare. After relocating to Florida, she continued cardiac-focused work in Cardiac Observation while also serving as a preschool nurse for medically fragile children.

It was through working closely with parents and families facing complex medical challenges that Alek discovered her passion for mental health and recognized the urgent need for more support and resources in the field. After five years as an RN, she returned to school for her Masters of Science in Nursing while working full-time. During this time, she taught a semester of Med–Surg and led two clinical rotations, supporting the next generation of nurses.

Today, Alek brings a blend of acute care experience, family-centered compassion, and a strong commitment to mental wellness to her role as a psychiatric nurse practitioner.

Alek’s philosophy is to offer compassionate, evidence-based care that truly sees the whole person—not just their symptoms. She believes in a collaborative, uplifting approach where patients feel supported, understood, and empowered to take an active role in their healing. Her goal is to help each person build confidence, resilience, and long-term wellness in a way that feels encouraging and genuinely cared for.
