Hello and thank you for visiting my profile. Taking the first step towards healing by reaching out for help can be the most difficult one so bravo! I am a doctorally-prepared Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with extensive experience in psychiatric nursing across a range of clinical settings, including community health centers, hospitals, residential treatment, and outpatient care. I am the sole practitioner of my private psychiatry practice, Flowerpot Parasol Psychiatry, located on beautiful Whidbey Island in Freeland.
I am known for my compassionate, patient-centered approach and expertise in medication management, as well as psychotherapeutic and integrative healing modalities, including weight management. I am committed to advancing holistic, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive care that addresses the complex needs of diverse populations.
Serving the needs of my community is paramount, and in offering both in-person and telehealth services to all Washington state, I hope to care for patients in their preferred setting. Please reach out when you are ready to begin your healing journey!
