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 Duke's graduate program. 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.
