Hi! I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with more than 20 years' experience. I work with young children, adolescents, adults and seniors. My goal is to help you or your family member manage mental health symptoms in an effective way that allows my clients to have the life they want. I work with a team of behavioral specialists, including counselors, social workers, and case managers. I bring a combination of compassion and common sense that patients tell me is "refreshing" in the mental health field.
I take a wholistic approach to treating patients; we'll talk about your overall well-being, NOT just medications. We encourage all of our medication patients to work with their therapist/social worker in addition to receiving medication management.
If you or someone you care about needs behavioral health care, we encourage you to reach out. I'll take the time to get to know you and your unique circumstances and together we'll find solutions that work.
