Being certified in mental health treatment throughout the lifespan, I am able to see children, adolescents, adults, and geriatric patients.
I work diligently with my patients to find the best medication for them. To achieve this, I encourage open and honest dialogue, while offering a friendly, safe, and judgment-free environment. As medications can affect everyone differently, I am also interested to know how well the prescribed medication is working for you, and if you’ve had any problems.

Hot Springs, AR 71901
As a nurse, I have worked in many diverse areas of healthcare, and believe this to be a strength in working with children, women, men, and older adults with a variety of health conditions.
Many patients I see are seeking change. Change from their current symptoms, history of family dysfunction, or response to the world around them. They are pursuing fulfillment. As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, my focus is medication management. My aim is to collaborate with patients and set mutual goals to help in this pursuit of fulfillment. I believe the foundation of a strong relationship is honesty and empathy, this is true of the working relationship between provider and patient. I have long had an interest in mental health, first earning a degree in psychology prior to becoming a nurse.

An ideal client is someone that needs support in navigating and understanding how medication management can be an important component in meeting their treatment goals. My ideal client communicates with me openly about their response to medication, both good and bad. They are willing to be open-minded and are interested in learning about their medication and advocating for themselves when something isn't right.
