You can find joy! As an experienced psychiatric nurse practitioner I have worked extensively with children, adolescents, and adults prescribing medication and providing therapy services. I have seen many patients find relief from emotional pain. I believe that medication may be necessary, but is only part of the healing process. I provide traditional psychiatric services in conjunction with holistic and complementary approaches. Medication evaluations are up to two hours. I may order genetic testing to assess medication response and provide recommendations to assess the root cause of symptoms.

I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner in private practice. I have over a decade of experience in the field of mental health working with adults and adolescents. I work collaboratively with patients to optimize a patient's ability to function in the world and to meet patient-identified goals of treatment. I prioritize patient education in a calm, therapeutic environment so patients are able to make informed decisions in a judgment-free atmosphere.

"Healing takes time, and asking for help is a courageous step." At Restorative Psychiatry & Wellness, we provide psychiatric mental health care to adolescents and adults. We believe in a holistic and client centered approach to mental health care, ensuring we treat our clients' health as an interconnected whole. We motivate our clients to be active participants in their treatment and encourage them to be involved in the shared decision-making with their Nurse Practitioner.

Hello! I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 14 years of Psychiatric Mental Health experience, focusing mostly in crisis treatment, alcohol and opioid dependence along with the treatment of schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety. I consult all clients with no judgment, excluding no psychiatric issue or age group and I truly believe every patient deserves only the best treatment and care. I have worked in several different units in the psychiatric Hospitals around the Miami area.

I am a doctorate-prepared, board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I currently work at Alder Grove Health Services and am accepting new clients. I started my nurse practitioner career at a community mental health center where I gained invaluable experience working with a diverse population treating a variety of psychiatric disorders. I have been trained to utilize a variety of alternative and complementary treatment options in addition to psychiatric medications. Examples of such include but are not limited to exercise, nutrition, supplements, therapies, genetic testing, ketamine, rTMS and ECT.

My intention is to provide compassionate and thoughtful treatment for every child, adolescent and adult I work with. I often see people who are uncertain if they want medicine and are concerned about the potential risks. I will listen carefully to your concerns, conduct a complete assessment, and then discuss the pro's and con's of your different treatment options so you can make the best decision for yourself or your child. I often recommend combinations of psychotherapy and medications. I have found that carefully prescribed medication frequently enables people to grow more rapidly in psychotherapy.

Becoming a parent is a wonderful experience, however, for some more than others, it is accompanied by challenges and changes that moms and dads find difficult to manage. Without an adequate support system, and sometimes even when one is in place, we sometimes find ourselves overwhelmed with feelings of despair, anxiety, guilt, or shame to name a few.

**ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS** I am an ANCC Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), licensed in Colorado. I have since practiced as a PMHNP-BC in residential treatment facilities, private practice, level one psychiatric hospitals, and numerous geriatric facilities. Prior to my PMHNP certification I worked as an RN at several level one psychiatric facilities since 2012 and became the Chief Nursing Officer of the largest level one psychiatric facility in Arizona in 2017. I spend my free time reading, camping, and playing with my 3 rottweilers and 2 french bulldogs.
