309 East Patrick Street Frederick, MD 21701
I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner committed to strong therapeutic relationships and guiding individuals through challenging life experiences. I have dedicated over 23 years to providing compassionate and comprehensive nursing care across various medical settings, from critical care to community health.
Depression, anxiety, mood disorders, OCD, ADHD, and traumatic life experiences impact our mental health and state of wellbeing. My practice focuses on medication management, in conjunction with emotional and supportive therapeutic techniques.
My extensive background in nursing, combined with advanced training as a nurse practitioner, uniquely positions me to offer a holistic approach integrating both physical and mental health. I look forward to working alongside you providing empathy, understanding, authenticity, and a warm accepting environment.
