Culturally Sensitive Psychiatrists in 98033

Accepting New Clients! Using a holistic and trauma-informed approach, I am committed to hearing your story and exploring options to support you, which can include medication management, therapy, and/or deprescribing. I believe every person has the right to thrive and not simply survive, and will work with you or your children to address current issues or to simply maximize wellness. I enjoy working with people of all ages. I specialize in psychiatric evaluations and medication management of ADHD, depression, anxiety, and many other issues that do not fit neatly into diagnostic categories.

A binnacle holds a ship's compass and keeps it stable and safe while the ship pitches and rolls. I know the world can be stormy, and strive to provide patients with the care and treatment they need to weather even the roughest patches and move towards calm waters. I chose to name my practice Binnacle Psychiatry because this represents my treatment philosophy: meet people where they are, assist them to identify their goals and provide a safe and steady harbor for them as they journey towards their goals. I offer medication management, therapy a combination of both and TMS.

I am doctorally prepared from the University of Washington and board certified Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). Additionally, as a nurse of 30 years, my experience covers a broad spectrum of providing a multitude of services to individuals and families from all walks of life and economic backgrounds. As a board certified PMHNP, my practice will focus on providing services from the adolescent years throughout the life span. My goal is to meet you where you are in your journey and enhance you with tools that will be life changing. We will collaborate together to identify the best holistic approach.

I believe that individuals are the best experts on themselves and their health. I assist each patient in setting their own goals and charting their own best direction. After a thorough diagnostic evaluation, I work with patients to develop a care plan which may include some combination of nutritional adjustment, exercise, counseling and medications when appropriate. My therapeutic approach builds on my earliest nursing training and is eclectic. I draw from many modalities and have extensive experience in inpatient crisis intervention as well as outpatient care with patients with multiple mental health and medical co-morbidities.

I have seen firsthand how life can throw unexpected situations at someone and how hard the adjustments can be on an individual and their families. It is easy to become overwhelmed, anxious, and depressed in life circumstances or due to organic conditions of mental health. I work with patients by addressing their symptoms and implement the appropriate treatment plan to achieve a successful outcome. I have provided exceptional patient care and successful outcomes for a diverse range of patients, conditions and ages.
