Mission, KS 66201
I graduated with my Masters in the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) specialty and Doctorate in Nursing (DNP) degrees from Duke University, ranked the best graduate nursing program in the country for the last 5 years. I am an APNA board member in the Kansas chapter, have published in multiple peer-reviewed nursing and medical journals, and serve as an adjunct professor in both Duke and Rockhurst's graduate nursing programs. I provide evidence-based care to help people achieve their goals. Many patients value an approach that is holistic and considers their unique needs.
I currently work as a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner assessing, diagnosing, prescribing medicine, and incorporating psychotherapy into (almost) all appointments. I see patients across the lifespan ages 5-75, and specialize in depression, anxiety, OCD, eating disorders, trauma, bipolar spectrum, ADHD, and substance misuse.
I’m passionate about integrating psychotherapy into medication management appointments, policy improvement in healthcare, and implementing innovative metabolic and nutritional interventions for mental health conditions. I am here to support you with an inclusive and welcoming space. You deserve my very best efforts, and I am committed to giving you that.

I love my job. I enjoy psychiatry being both an art and a science. The artistry lies in our ability to translate complex science into hope for patients. I am fascinated by the complexity of the brain and the variety of ways a patient and I can formulate a plan to achieve a healthy mind.

While my main role is medication management, I (almost) always incorporate psychotherapy into appointments. Evidence reflects utilizing therapy alongside medication is (in many cases) the best path toward healing and recovery.

Every person is different, so I use a variety of therapeutic modalities depending on each patient's unique needs. The basis of my therapeutic focus is providing unconditional positive regard for all people while demonstrating radical genuineness, humility, and marshaling empathy and compassion.
