As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (APRN, PMHNP-BC), licensed in both Kentucky and Washington State. If anxiety, depression, stress, or other mental health concerns are making daily life harder, you do not have to navigate them alone. I offer a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understand what you are experiencing, and take an active role in your care. Together, we will create an individualized plan to help you manage symptoms, build resilience, and move toward greater emotional well-being and quality of life.
As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 20 years of nursing experience, I provide compassionate, holistic, evidence-based care. Sessions may include a psychiatric evaluation, medication management, psychoeducation, and therapeutic strategies such as CBT, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care.
