Hello! I am a Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I offer medication management with supportive therapy, fostering an environment where warmth meets understanding. I treat psychiatric conditions such as Anxiety, Bipolar disorder, Depression, OCD, ADHD, Panic disorder, Eating disorders, PTSD, Borderline Personality disorder, Autism, Affective mood disorders, Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective disorder, Pre and postpartum disorders, and other conditions. With over ten years of both inpatient and outpatient experiences in medical and behavioral health, my goal is to start with the simplest and most convenient treatment options, adjusting to your unique needs. Let's work together to find your path to wellness.

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

At your first visit with me, you and I will figure out what you need help with, and how I can help you feel better. We will make a plan, and talk about your treatment options, and when to meet next, for the best possible outcome for you. If needed, we can start with some medication from day one. And remember, you're a big part of deciding what we do next.

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

I offer medication management with a holistic approach for positive results. I start medication dosing with the lowest dose for tolerability and adjust according to your needs. I collaborate with my patients while focusing on the psychological and biological aspects of the conditions to create a treatment plan tailored to the individual needs of each person for the best possible outcome.

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

I help people of all ages- children - 6 years and older, teens, young adults, older adults, the elderly, military members, and veterans.
