Hello! I'm a doctorally prepared psychiatric nurse practitioner. I prioritize working with underserved populations, women, geriatrics, LGBTQIA, POC, and those with disabilities. Areas of focus include, but are not limited to, general mental health, geriatrics, trauma, and deprescribing benzodiazepines.
I primarily focus on medication management with cognitive behavioral therapy. I have a strong network and many resources to help you meet your goals. Health is a partnership and a collaborative effort. I am excited to meet you and hear how you want to shape your future.
Feel free to reach out with questions or to schedule an appointment.
