My name is Ellen, and I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner at BestMind Behavioral Health. My background has gifted me with unique insights and skills that allow me to connect with deeper understanding. . I specialize in diagnosing and treating mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, and PTSD. I am also passionate about providing care to first responders and those who work in the medical profession.
My background has gifted me with unique insights and skills that allow me to connect with deeper understanding. I have over twenty-six years of experience in the mental health profession. Before becoming a nurse practitioner, I practiced as a Licensed Professional Counselor for sixteen years. After my advanced training, I worked with the VA.
My approach is holistic, collaborative, and patient-centered. I strive to create a secure and trusting alliance with patients. I value the space where provider and patient come together with a unified goal of finding relief —and a happier life. Together healing is a journey made possible.
