As a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I am committed to providing holistic and person-centered care in a safe, non-judgmental environment. I am passionate about working together to form an individualized treatment plan while also integrating therapy with medication management. I follow a holistic, patient-centered process incorporating exercise, supplements, mindfulness, therapy, and various lifestyle changes into treatment plans. You will find me direct, empathetic, and thoughtful in my approach.
I provide care across the lifespan to those with a variety of mental health care needs including anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, dissociation, mood disorders, thought disorders, and substance use disorders. I am here to help you overcome challenges throughout this journey to improve your health and your life.
Reach out to me. My goal is managing medications and treatments to help you feel better about yourself.
