Hello and Namaste,

I am Asurupi (Asu) Gurung, a certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). 

I specialize in treating adults ages 18–65 experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma-related disorders, adjustment disorders, and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). I work with individuals from diverse cultural and immigrant backgrounds, providing culturally responsive care that honors each person’s lived experience and identity. My approach is holistic and evidence-based, integrating thoughtful medication management with psychotherapy, nutrition, and lifestyle changes to support whole-person healing and long-term wellness.

As a human being, a healthcare professional, and an immigrant, I understand firsthand the weight of work stress and burnout, the homesickness that comes with being far from family, the guilt of being away, and the quiet question of where we truly belong. Navigating life and managing expectations—our own and others’—can feel overwhelming. We all develop ways to cope, some healthier than others, and that’s part of being human. It’s hard, and it is ok to ask for help. Maybe what we need is therapy (and honestly, we could all benefit from it), or maybe short term medication support while working toward meaningful changes to support long-term well being. Whatever the needs maybe, you don’t have to figure out alone - I am happy to work together to figure out the options.
