I hold a Masters of Nursing as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner from Northern Kentucky University and I am board certified by the American Nurses Credentialing Center.

We are not born with the skills to handle life or our emotions. If we did not have people surrounding us as we grew who knew these skills and could teach us, then we did whatever we could to get through the emotion or situation we were faced with. This continued and evolved over time-maybe it changed into substance use, maybe into chronic dishonesty, or maybe we just tried to disappear into the background. Eventually these coping skills stopped working and we become desperate for the pain to stop. This is the perfect time a person can completely change their life and become who they were meant to be. THIS is the second chance!

Management of mental health issues has three components: you, your therapist, and your PMHNP. There is no one component that is better than the next. Mental health care is an ongoing treatment that relies on positive intentions and manifestations. The combined work of the client (you), therapist, and medication provider (PMHNP), allows the client to reach the goal of being the best version he/she can be.

I am a psychiatrist serving OR and KY via telesessions. My clinical work increases capacity to endure and shift challenges in relationships. I work to help understand patterns of distressing conflicts in one or more areas of your life such that you feel less isolated by intense emotions and build new patterns in relating. I find psychotherapy is the best modality for making lasting, real change; therefore, I devote the majority of my professional time for individual psychotherapy cases with and without medication management depending on your needs.
