Clinical and Academic Experience
Dr. Rustan's career bridges direct patient care and the training of other clinicians. Her doctoral work and certifications in simulation and nursing education mean she has spent years thinking rigorously about how clinical decisions get made — and that carries into how she reasons through a patient's presentation.
Her trauma nursing background informs a treatment approach that accounts for how past experiences shape present symptoms.
Approach to Care
Dr. Rustan brings a compassionate, culturally informed, and collaborative approach to care. She centers each client's story, values, identity, and strengths in the treatment process, forming a therapeutic partnership designed to support overall well-being rather than simply reduce a symptom score.
Her personal motto — HAIR: Honesty, Authenticity, Integrity, and Respect — guides her clinical practice and her patient relationships.
Her areas of interest include trauma-informed care, navigating major life transitions, and the role of nutrition and physical activity in mental health.
