I am a dual licensed and board certified Nurse Practitioner in both Psychiatric Mental Health (PMHNP) and Family Medicine (FNP). Prior to my work in psychiatry, I spent over 10 years working in a mix of emergency medicine, trauma care, urgent care and covering for primary care providers.
I understand what it means to work in high stress, high demand environments. I believe in addressing mental health with the same level of focus and detail that the most complex physical health conditions require.
Mental health is often overlooked as a root cause to many of our most disabling conditions. I individualize healthcare to what is most prevalent, and relevant, to each person. Everyone's story is unique, so their care has to be unique to them. I strive to make everyone feel welcomed without any judgement. My goal is to leave you feeling heard and validated.
