Sometimes we feel stuck…at home, at work, at school or in other settings. This is not uncommon. You are not alone. Both in and out of the office, I work to normalize feeling "not OK" as just one part of the human experience, and not something to fear. I am passionate about giving individuals like you, your child, or other loved ones tools to live your best lives. l look forward to helping you decide if we can be a team, and how I may help you reach your goals. This starts with the initial evaluation. Submit a request through my secure website link to get started today!
As a licensed and credentialed Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner; I evaluate for, diagnose, and prescribe medications and other treatments to help mental health struggles. I may incorporate brief therapy and/or non-pharmaceutical modalities. I have working knowledge of functional/complementary options, and take every opportunity to learn.
No judgment or bias here. I use a light hand when prescribing medications. Take solace in knowing that if medication is the right tool for you now, it’s not always a forever thing. This may just be a season in your life…if the time comes that we feel medication is no longer necessary, I can help you safely taper off.
