I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who combines evidence-based practices along with a more holistic, functional medicine approach that addresses the unique needs of each individual. I have additional training and certifications in Thyroid Optimization, and Women's Health and Sex Hormone Replacement. I am also a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, and the author of "How to Treat Treatment Resistant Depression."

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Our first session is generally an hour long where we get to know each other and begin to develop a trusting rapport. Mental health issues can be just as, if not more, intimate than physical health issues and it can take some time to develop trust.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Being able to listen to, and believe what the patient is saying. Sometimes busy practitioners can be dismissive of symptoms that are concerning to the patient. And they may not feel they are being heard or understood. I try to not let that happen.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

While I see both sexes for treatment, I tend to gravitate towards females and their unique mental health challenges, and I have specialized training in those areas.
