As a double board-certified nurse practitioner in both family and psychiatric practice, I have dedicated my career to providing holistic care since 2015. Beginning my journey in family medicine, I spent several years at a community healthcare clinic, where I encountered patients from underserved populations. It became clear that many of patients faced not only complex medical issues but also severe mental health challenges that often went untreated. This realization motivated me to pursue a psychiatric specialty, enhancing my ability to serve my patients effectively. I earned my psychiatric degree from the University of St. Francis.

Areas of Focus: Medication management, depression, anxiety, OCD, BP, non-stimulant ADHD, stage of life stress, transitional psychiatry, and mental health education.
Situations outside of our control can sometimes leave us feeling confused and unprepared for the most sudden and unexpected of life's changes. All that we can do is our best to rebuild what was lost and taken from us, reestablish the supports we once had, and open up ourselves to new opportunities for growth. Our sessions are designed to be collaborative in nature. For some patients this means working to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to achieve the goals you set for yourself. For others, my role is simply to answer questions and continue clarifying the steps between where you are and where you imagine yourself being.

FAQ - Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Psychiatrists
How can psychiatrist help with obsessive-compulsive disorder?
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by recurring, intrusive thoughts that lead to repetitive behaviors, such as excessive cleaning, hand-washing, checking, counting, or hoarding. These behaviors often serve as temporary relief from distressing thoughts but can quickly become disruptive and time-consuming. OCD commonly begins in late childhood or adolescence and may fluctuate in intensity over time, often influenced by life changes or stress. For many, the condition can interfere with daily functioning, including school, work, relationships, and overall well-being. Seeking psychiatric care can therefore be a valuable step in learning how to manage and reduce the impact of OCD on everyday life.
How do psychiatrists treat OCD?
During appointmnts, psychiatrists typically review a client's symptoms and any current medications to determine an appropriate treatment approach. Psychiatrists who specialize in OCD often use a combination of medication and therapy to support symptom management. The most frequently prescribed medications for OCD are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) which can help reduce the intensity of obsessive thoughts and emotional distress. While not all psychiatrists provide therapy themselves, many collaborate with therapists to support interventions like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), a highly effective therapeutic method for treating OCD.
How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in OCD?
The Psychology Today online directory can be a helpful resource to search for psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who specialize in OCD. In addition to searching for psychiatrists who specialize in OCD, you may consider searching for psychiatrists who specialize in working with a particular population, such as children, or a certain co-occurring condition, such as anxiety. When searching for a provider, ask about their specific experience treating symptoms of OCD and what their approach to therapy and medication is. It is also important to determine whether their office is accessible (either close-by or via telehealth) and if they accept your insurance.
