Hello! I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner with almost 20 years of nursing experience in a variety of settings, treating patients of all ages. I am passionate about reducing stigma for those with mental health challenges, and want to be a partner in your journey to mental wellness. I live with husband and 2 dogs on the Ohio river. I enjoy gardening and watching the bald eagles that nest here on the river!

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

In our first session together, we'll have brief introductions. I will do a thorough mental health assessment and history. Then we will discuss the specific challenges you're facing. Together we will create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

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

My mission is to provide compassionate and comprehensive psychiatric care, empowering individuals to achieve mental wellness and lead fulfilling lives. As a dedicated psychiatric nurse practitioner, I am committed to delivering personalized, evidence-based treatments that prioritize the unique needs of each patient.

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

I enjoy working with anyone looking to improve their mental health. I often work with people who have symptoms of depression, anxiety, and inattentiveness. I have a special interest in trauma, either with veterans or those working in EMS.
