Sometimes we feel stuck…at home, work, school or other settings. This is not uncommon. You are not alone. We are humans and not robots after all! Fill out my Intake Form on this page and we’ll see about becoming a team.

As a licensed and credentialed Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner; I evaluate, diagnose, prescribe medications and/or other treatments to get you back to your life. I may incorporate brief supportive therapy and/or non-pharmaceutical modalities. I have working knowledge of functional/complementary options; I take every opportunity to learn more.

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.

You have options! I evaluate WITH you, to see if medications are right for you and prescribe only if indicated. I often provide brief supportive therapy, but if we determine more extensive therapy is ideal, I can direct you to licensed therapists. I also incorporate functional and non-pharmaceutical methods for mind-body wellness.
