Hi. The mind is very similar to our physical bodies; symptoms develop to let us know that something is amiss. Environments, stress, and trauma influence these symptoms. As our physical bodies seek to heal themselves, so does our minds. Difficulties can be looked at as opportunites for growth. I seek to come alongside and work together to help the healing and growth through therapy and if need be medication. Medication is not sufficent alone. Just as the physical body seeks to heal itself when hurt, so the mind/soul with encouragement can heal.

My practice centers around the concept of mind body connection. As a ARNP I have trained in both primary care and psychiatry and believe in an all-inclusive, as well as holistic approach to wellbeing. I treat most psychiatric disorders and provide both medication management and psychotherapy. I believe psychotherapy is an essential part of mental well-being. I have experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Interpersonal Neurobiology and Motivational interviewing.

I am a dual Board Certified Psychiatry Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner at U-First Healthcare where your mental wellness is our number one priority. We focus on your specific needs and center our care towards your goals and objectives.
