I am a board-certified, doctorally-prepared psychiatric and mental health nurse practitioner. I primarily provide medication management. I work with adults and adolescents, and provide care for a variety of conditions, including depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), bipolar disorder, eating disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I am LGBTQ-friendly.
I never want my clients to feel pressured into taking a medication, and am happy to talk to you about possible options if you are uncertain if medication is right for you. I encourage my patients to work with a therapist with whom they have a good relationship.
I prefer to engage my clients as collaborators in their care. I take time to listen to your goals and preferences for treatment and to answer any questions you may have. I think it's important that you understand what treatment is being recommended, why, and what to expect, and I strive to offer thorough explanations to help with this.
