I am a Certified Nurse Practitioner specializing in psychiatry with 7 years in mental health and 28 years of nursing experience. I take pride in spending time with my patients and believe in patient-centered care. I offer medication and therapy. Intensive therapy will be referred to a counselor or therapist. My focus is ages 18 and over, with depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, stress, trauma, grief, loss, and other mental health issues. I look forward to meeting you.

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

The initial meeting will be 60-120 min. assessment and diagnostic evaluation, with psychiatric, social, family, and medical history. We will develop a treatment plan together with interventions, medications, and symptom management. Follow-up visits will be a 30-60 min. session with an evaluation of progress, interventions, and new developments. Accepting new patients with low - moderate acuity. I do not accept disability cases, workers compensation cases, or legal issues e.g. custody disputes.

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

Psychiatric care visits include medication management, therapy with brief interventions including interpersonal, patient-centered, strength-based, cognitive-behavioral, positive psychology, insight-oriented, and humanistic modalities, using a holistic approach. I treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, grief, loss, and other mental health issues.
