Mental illness is hard. Hard to understand, even harder to explain while facing challenges and limitations in looking for treatment options. Seeking mental health treatment is also hard. Talking to someone about highly personal issues; waiting for weeks to months for an appointment; conflicting opinions on what might be best for you, only to feel frustrated with the time and effort needed to get better. With all the challenges you face, in moments of crisis, seeking out care for your mental health can be lifesaving! Whatever your situation, I have worked to provide options to help you receive timely, quality care.

• Holistic Care Planning • Prescribing Medications • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT) • Supportive Counseling • Teaching Symptom Management • Connecting Clients to Resources • Prevention
I became a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner because I believe in the power of hope and the possibility of change. I choose to stand with those who are struggling, to offer knowledge, compassion, and skill. My journey is marked by the stories of those who have trusted me with their pain and triumph, and by the conviction that every individual deserves respect, dignity, and the chance to heal. The decision to pursue this path was shaped by personal experience, academic exploration, and professional commitment (over 20 years of combined nursing)—but above all, by a God-given calling to serve.

You may be feeling stuck after trying multiple treatments that haven’t brought lasting relief. Anxiety, panic, trauma, depression, or mood instability may be affecting your relationships, work, or sense of self. You’re seeking care that looks beyond symptom suppression and considers the whole person—mind, body, and lived experience. You want thoughtful, individualized treatment, clear education, and options that align with your values, curiosity, and desire for meaningful healing rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Generally speaking, and before we talk about you, just let me say that I am here to help. It can be intimidating to think about meeting a psychiatrist for the first time, and I understand that. In fact, I know that some people might find me intimidating, particularly after reading my bio, but I really want to be seen as that kind and gracious doctor who wants to help you.

FAQ - Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Psychiatrists
Do psychiatrists provide cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)?
Yes, many psychiatrists provide CBT as a therapeutic approach in sessions with clients. CBT is an evidence-based form of therapy that focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to mental health challenges. Psychiatrists who provide CBT can be particularly valuable when your condition may benefit from both therapy *and* medication, such as depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD or PTSD. However, some psychiatrists choose to focus primarily on medication management rather than ongoing therapy. When evaluating potential psychiatrists, it can be helpful to confirm that they actively incorporate CBT techniques into their practice (rather than focusing solely on prescribing medication)

What is the difference between CBT with a psychiatrist versus a therapist?
The primary difference between CBT with a psychiatrist versus a therapist is that a psychiatrist can integrate medication management with CBT treatment, while non-psychiatrist therapists (such as psychologists, counselors, or social workers) provide CBT without the ability to prescribe medications. In a CBT session with a psychiatrist, you will work on the same core techniques as you would with any CBT provider, such as identifying cognitive distortions or challenging negative thought patterns. However, a psychiatrist can also monitor how medication affects your symptoms. This integrated approach can be especially helpful for conditions like major depression or bipolar disorder, where medication often works together with therapy to produce better outcomes than either treatment alone.

Should I see a psychiatrist or therapist for CBT?
The choice to see a psychiatrist or therapist depends on the severity of your symptoms and whether medication might be part of your treatment plan. A psychiatrist who provides CBT is appropriate when you have more severe mental health symptoms that may require medication. A non-psychiatrist therapist may be appropriate when your symptoms are mild to moderate, you prefer to try therapy without medication first, or you are already stable on medication prescribed by another provider. It is worth noting that psychiatrists typically charge higher rates than other therapists due to their medical training, and psychiatry sessions are not always covered by insurance. Therefore, some people start with a therapist for CBT and later add a psychiatrist to their treatment team if medication becomes necessary.
