Since 2022, I have been working as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, specializing in psychiatric healthcare. Prior to this, I served as an Army Combat Medic for eight years, and I have been a Registered Nurse since 2017. As a compassionate Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I provide inclusive, patient-centered care. Together, we will create a personalized care plan that aligns with your needs. I empower you to make informed decisions, ensuring you feel valued throughout your treatment journey.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Inclusivity matters deeply to me. I strive to create an environment where all patients feel respected and heard. Collaborating closely with my supervising psychiatrist, I leverage their expertise when needed to ensure the best treatment plan is created.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I want you to feel comfortable during the appointment. Patients that work with me are typically between 20 to mid to late 40s. They come from all walks of life but one of the most common shared experience between them is they have found it difficult to find a provider to actually listen to them. My patients also often feel like they were judged and not accepted prior to meeting me. I work and am knowledgeable in the following communities: LGBTQ, Kink/sex positive, polyamory I find that it is helpful to have a psychiatrist and therapist that understand your lifestyle. It helps to reduce stress and allows the patient to feel 100 percent comfortable in psychiatric environment.

Psychoeducation
Psychoeducation is a large part of what I do. I will never place you on a medication and not explain to you what it does and what it is meant to help you with. I find this helps patients feel comfortable with the medication and their treatment plan. I encourage you to do your own research and I can help you know which sites are best for this type of research.
Supportive
My practice is a collaboration between my patient and myself. I encourage research and education into what you put into your own body. I want you comfortable with the treatment plan. We will have a conversation about what options are available and I'll tell you what I believe are the best options. Psychiatry is like spaghetti on a wall. You throw it and you see what sticks. You have to work with the patient. Only you know how your body works and responds. This is why I chose to work my practice this way.
Gender-affirming therapy
In my practice you will never feel judged or out of place. I will use the pronouns and name that you ask me to use. I believe that being gender affirming has helped many people be more comfortable in their own bodies and to gIn the self confidence needed to heal. It is a journey that we can travel in together.
