I offer psychiatric evaluations and ongoing medication management to adults aged 18-65 via telehealth visits. My focus is with clients managing depression, anxiety, and ADHD, as well as those seeking lifestyle coaching to enhance overall well-being. With a diverse background as a veteran, military police officer, ICU nurse, physical therapy assistant, athlete, and animal lover, I approach each situation with compassion and understanding. I enjoy working with Veterans, the LGBTQ+ community, young adults, and anyone navigating life changes. Transitions can be challenging, I'm here and ready to support you on your journey.
New clients have 60min of my undivided attention as we explore your past, present, and your future goals. In that time, we'll discuss your symptoms, stressors, medical/ psychiatric/ family histories to diagnose and plan your care. Together we'll discuss medication (if needed), plan your goals, schedule regular visits to check in, and track your progress.
The client-NP relationship is truly a partnership built on honesty and trust. I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space where you can share openly. Recognizing that each client is unique, we’ll collaborate to find the care that best suits your individual needs and concerns. I look forward to meeting you soon!
