I have worked as a Registered Nurse at a hospital for about 12 years on a unit that specializes in Mood Disorders, like depression and bipolar disorder, and Eating Disorders. I have been working as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner since 2018. I am straightforward and will do my best to meet you, figuratively, where you are. I would like to involve you in a clinically appropriate plan. We will discuss options and I will answer questions before we proceed. I primarily do medication management but supplement with brief supportive therapy. I do return emails/calls and I value being able to speak with other providers treating you, such as therapists and primary care providers.

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

In our first meeting, we will start with introductions and the reason for the meeting. We will review symptoms and likely come up with a plan that is clinically appropriate and that you think is reasonable. You will have my contact information and be given an opportunity to have your questions answered.

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

Working with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and eating disorders has been fulfilling. I listen and do my best to teach the people I work with to combat these symptoms with a variety of tools. I am straightforward but also compassionate.
