I am an experienced nurse practitioner who will meet you where you are in your mental health journey. I use a holistic and client-centered approach. I understand how life experiences impact our mental health. We will work together and create goals for you to be the best you can be. My family nurse practitioner experience of over 19 years helps integrate your medical history into your psychiatric care.
I approach psychiatry with the knowledge that your life experiences impact your mental health. You are the expert in your life. I will offer an evidence-based approach to guide you on a new path for you to live your best life. I am a dual-certified nurse practitioner, both in family practice and as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner.
I believe each individual is unique and deserves to be treated with respect and kindness.

After I conduct a thorough psychiatric interview, we will decide what treatment therapies will be the most beneficial for you to achieve your goals. I often use dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy (IPT), and motivational interviewing (MI) during sessions. I often offer brief reading assignments to reinforce your work in therapy.
