Hello! My name is Auggy and I am a PMHNP specializing in mood, anxiolytic, and addiction disorders including but not limited to: MDD, bipolar I and II, ADHD, GAD, PTSD, OCD, and Opioid & Alcohol use disorders. I utilize a collaborative approach with my patients when prescribing. What this means is we decide on a treatment plan together, including medications if deemed necessary. I may be the "expert", but in reality it is you who is the expert of your health. Therefore, your input and feedback during our sessions is of most importance.

During this time of great unknowns, it is normal to experience increased stress, loneliness, and fears. I create a judgment free, safe, environment that allows you to be seen and heard, My commitment is to understand you and to meet you where you are in your journey. As we work together in collaboration, navigating your own experiences, new tools and resources will be discovered. Adaptability and resiliency skills are vital in the ability to thrive at your highest level of functioning.

As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner- Board Certified (PMHNP-BC) I perform diagnostic assessment, medication management, and treatment of those with mental health disorders. I focus on individuals with eating disorders, disordered eating, body dysmorphia, and BPD, but have openings for any diagnosis. As someone with personal experience of having an eating disorder and BPD I know how hard it is to find providers understanding of the unique challenges faced by the population. I strive to make sure my patients are heard, and work with them to help get them the proper medication and treatment.

Life is a challenge for all of us and many of us are doing our best to lead "normal" lives as we deal with the challenges of live.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), providing patient-centered care is at the heart of what I do. The foundation of my practice is based on empathy, communication, education and compassionate care. We are not our symptoms and as such deserve to be treated as a whole person. We are shaped and affected by every aspect of our life and this cannot be overlooked when addressing our mental health.

I understand that making decisions about psychiatric medications is difficult, especially when there are so many factors to consider. Medications can facilitate emotional healing, but their limitations must be recognized. When prescribing, it is my goal to understand your priorities and collaborate with you in an effort to find a medication that is beneficial with minimal or no side effects. Genetic testing is available for those who would like to know more about how they metabolize medications.

I believe the most important aspects of a quality assessment and therapeutic relationship is active listening and clear communication. I appreciate that everyone has their unique story and personal struggles. Allotting 90 minutes for an initial encouter allows me the time to provide a comprehensive assessment and construct an individualized plan of care. Inherent vulnerabilities, trauma, medical conditions, and unhealthy lifestyles can all contribute to distress and dysfunction. My diverse training and experience enable me to address issues in all of these areas to promote recovery and wellbeing.

I'm a board certified psychiatrist specializing in treating adults and teenagers with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD and other mental health issues. I take a look at the whole person. I strive to be a good listener and focus on addressing my patient's concerns. I have also trained in integrative psychiatry which allows me to have a broader set of treatment modalities on hand. I do psychotherapy and prescribe medications and supplements together, as needed. I offer in person and telehealth visits.
