I am a licensed certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and have been working as a NP since initially graduating in 2019 with my Doctorate in Nursing Practice. I utilize a nonjudgmental approach to working with patients, and utilize a variety of techniques towards helping them become their best selves, not just medication. I also have experience in functional medicine as well, for those wanting solutions that don't necessarily require medication, but lifestyle changes for optimum mental health.

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

The first session will be a history gathering appointment and recommendations for medications to start if needed. I do not put every patient on medications if their concerns can be handled through therapy alone. I will take the time to sit and listen to them as they share their story, and work as a team to help them meet their mental health goals.

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

I am easily approachable and try to meet every patient at their level.

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

My goal is to meet the patient where they are at, so I am willing to work with anyone who needs help.
