Have you ever felt like something’s just not right, but you couldn’t quite put your finger on it? Maybe you’ve struggled with ADHD, Autism, PTSD, anxiety, or depression, and in the moment, you knew something was off, but you couldn’t explain it—not to yourself or to others.
As a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) practicing in both Arizona and Oregon, I’m here to help you understand what’s been happening beneath the surface. So often, people don’t realize what these challenges feel like in the moment, or how they’ve played out over time. I will explain and walk with you on this journey.
I have experience working with adolescents and adults. My focus areas are anxiety, depression, OCD, mood disorders, ADHD, as well as genetic testing evaluation. I believe each individual is unique and will provide compassionate and respectful care in a safe environment. It's my personal mission to be with you as you take the courageous first step.
Life is stressful enough which is why Friday, Weekend, and Monday appointments are provided with your best interest put first. It is my firm commitment to be here for you. I offer super billing as an out of network provider as well as cash pay and Care Credit if helpful as we mutually collaborate to regain your highest level of Mental Health and wellbeing.
