Hello, I'm a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. My practice includes medication management and therapy. With an extensive background in nursing, I value educating my patients on the possibilities and building an excellent care plan with them. I have a calm and pleasant demeanor that can be helpful when you need it most. The most exciting thing I do in my career is helping people enjoy their lives again.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

The first session can be about 1 hour long. We dive deep into your history, family history, medical history of both you and your family. We decide on the best action to take from where you are at now.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am very calm, and soothing, helping those having mental health needs. I listen well, and do not push regarding the person's comfort zone. No one is judged for their past or any of their issues.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My calling is to help people live their best lives. If you are motivated to make positive changes with or without medication, I can help. If you want to learn more about your medication, reduce your medication or if your medication isn't helping anymore, contact me to help you.
