I am a dual certified Nurse Practitioner. Board-certified as a PMHNP (psychiatric mental health) and FNP (family practice). Alumni of Purdue Global University and Rocky Mountain University. I have worked in multiple settings such as Retail Clinic, Psychiatry, home health, neurology, bariatrics/bariatric surgery, medical weight-loss. I am currently licensed as a prescriber in the state of WA, MT, AZ, CO, IL, NV, HI, TX and WI with a focus in psychiatry and family practice.


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

My goal is to really get a good history of what the problem is so i can help you feel the best you. I believe that knowing my clients more will help me help them more by not missing even the tiniest detail. I think that if i can describe myself i would pick the words efficient, caring and conservative. Key to practicing Medicine is to prescribe the least amount of medicine possible that will result to positive desired outcomes.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I utilize different psychiatric forms and my years in healthcare (9+ years). I have worked with multiple patients of different problems, age, race, background, gender and i think that has always made me the clinician that i am today.

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

I am an athlete so physical health is a big deal to me. I do believe that the body and mind needs to be treated together and not separate. I am board certified in psychiatry and family medicine which helps me integrate more knowledge in the practice.
