(she/her)
I am a dual board-certified nurse practitioner in family medicine and psychiatry/mental health and have been practicing since 2007. I have experience treating patients ages 12 and up. I graduated from University of Tampa with a master’s degree in nursing, University of Akron with a post-master’s certificate in family practice, and Ohio University with a post-master’s certificate in psychiatric mental health. My current focus/specialty is general psychiatry for pediatrics and adults. Prior to being a nurse practitioner, I worked for 25 years as an LPN/RN with part of that time working as a medic in the United States Air Force. I believe in looking at the whole patient (physical, mental, and emotional health), not just the symptoms they present with. I ensure that the patient is comfortable with and understands their treatment plan. I provide medication management as well as psychotherapy. If you need a certain day or time and don't see availability, you can find my phone number on my website listed below.
During your first session, we will briefly get to know one another. Then, we will go through intake forms and find out what your goals are, and how I can help you.
I like to take account the whole person. That includes medical issues as well as psychological. I make sure patients understand and are in agreement with their treatment plan.
