I've been a practicing psychiatric nurse since 1994 and as Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner since 2005. Many areas of treatment have included mood disorders, anxiety, PTSD/trauma related issues and eating disorders. Working at many different levels of care, including inpatient, outpatient, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient has allowed me to see mental health at a variety of intensities. I believe in the motivation of the individual and integrating with their health care team to allow the individual to function at the highest level. We are using Zoom to provide quality and safe tele-health sessions.

My ideal client is the person who appears to have it all together on the outside but is quietly falling apart on the inside. They may be battling anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, mood instability, or ADHD — and they're done trying to push through alone. They've tried managing it themselves, but deep down they know they need more than willpower. They need real help from someone who truly sees them. They want to be heard without judgment, treated as a whole person — not just a diagnosis — and given a care plan as unique as their story. With five years of outstanding psychiatric practice and a proven track record.
