As a PMHNP-BC, I serve people who are struggling with trauma, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, developmental disabilities, panic disorders, ADHD & ADD, autism, and borderline personality disorder.
In my first session with you, a kind, nonjudgmental conversation will occur, leading to an individualized treatment plan tailored to your needs. This plan may include time-tested psychiatric medications but will also add non-pharmacologic strategies to aid the recovery process.

Though trained in psychiatric diagnostics and medication management, you will find that - when working with me - those are only two (small!) slices of the pie. I am more than willing to explore alternative and complementary options to better meet your individual needs while honoring your goals and values. Some options may include metabolic therapy, such as a ketogenic diet; genetic testing for the "best" medication trial; and bloodwork for nutritional deficiencies - among many others. I am committed to researching and exploring all possibilities for the sake of your wellbeing. No cookie cutters; no one-size-fits-all. Just YOU.

I want to find the root cause of illness and focus on helping and healing the individual as a whole. This not only includes mental health, but physical as well (or vice versa). I focus on treatment options that work for the patient and offer alternative approaches for those uncomfortable taking pharmaceuticals. Because of my integrative approach, I can find a treatment option with evidence based studies to support both western and eastern medicine, though usually it becomes a combination of both. Here at Stay Spry Health, you will feel heard, cared for and supported, most importantly, without judgement.

Tele-health only. Have you ever felt rushed through a mental health med visit? Have you ever felt like "just" a diagnosis or collection of symptoms? You are more than that: You are a complex and whole human being and you have a right to be seen. You also have a right to mental wellbeing - the ability to experience and move through all normal human emotions (happiness, anger, sadness, anxiety) with the energy and motivation to do the things you need and want to do.
