Sometimes in life, things can get to a point when we know we need to do something different for our life to get better. The desire is there but that first step takes courage. In our work together, we will consider a number of options for your healing considering the various dimensions that make you unique. Strong emotional health enhances our resilience to stress, improves our relationships, builds our self esteem, and can provide the energy you need to build the successful future you want. I would be honored to meet with you and together create a plan that will lead to the result you are looking for.
I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with certification as both an NP and Clinical Nurse Specialist which means I an trained in both medication management and psychotherapy. My 48 years as a psychiatric nurse and 24 years as an Advanced Practice Nurse has provided me a wealth of experience and wisdom I would love to share with you..
I am recently retired from the VA and have a special place in my heart for people who have experienced trauma. For 27 years I have treated Veterans, men and women, who have experienced many kinds of trauma; military, first responder, childhood and sexual trauma. I am an expert in medication management and therapy in the treatment of trauma.
