Hi there, I am originally from Michigan and moved to Brevard County, FL in 1997. I have a BA in Communications from Michigan State University and a Masters in Social Work from the University of Michigan. I worked for Candle Lighters of Brevard, when I first moved to town. My father had a stroke and he was in and out of hospitals and nursing homes for 6 years. His illness prompted me to go back to school at the University of Central Florida to obtain my BSN-RN. I worked Labor Delivery/Mother Baby at Wuesthof Melbourne for five years, during which time I went back to University of Central Florida to achieve my MSN/ Family Nurse Practitioner. During that time I also got divorced and was a single mother to an amazing son. I have been through many challenges and bumps in the road throughout my childhood, adolescence, and adulthood which has given me enhanced understanding, compassion, empathy, and a lack of being judgemental. I went back to school yet again, and completed my PMHNP from the University of Cincinnati. I specialize in integrative medicine which entails finding the root of the illness and treating it with lifestyle changes, healthy diet, exercise, Bio-identical hormone replacements, supplements, and medications that fix the problem instead of bandaiding the symptoms. I believe that the mind, body, and spirit are connected and need to be balanced, to feel a sense of over all well being. I do not believe in "cookie cutter or one size fits all medicine". I believe that you know your body and mind better than anyone. We will work together to find the root cause and discover the best treatment for you! Sometimes we may have to try many different options before we find the right fit, but I am like Felix the cat I have a large bag of tricks and I am able to think outside the box!!

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

I look forward to being a safe haven where you can be yourself and trust. I can assist you to develop, break down your barriers, grow, and flourish! We will explore treatment options, provide direction, and help guide you on your Journey. You will be in the drivers seat. I will not try to force you to take any medication or do anything that you are not comfortable trying. We will go at your pace. You can do, be or have anything that you desire, you just may have to work extra hard to achieve it. I will be your assistant, guide, conscious, supporter, sounding board, fill some gaps of what you have been missing in your life. I will help you uncover your barriers and work with you to break them down, and build you build yourself back up with strength and help you to be your own best friend.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I provide psycho therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, family therapy, guidance, medication prescriptions, supplement suggestions, tools and methods, books to read, podcasts, mindfullness, meditation suggestions, lab orders, journaling, healthy diet, yoga and other exercises.

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

I am very intuitive. I have experienced many things and have an understanding about relationships, actions and I able to read between the lines. I can point out things delicately and help you to develop healthy coping skills. I am able to diagnose or point out things that unhealthy defense mechanisms have contributed to. I have a way of explaining and understanding various conditions taht may have been misdiagnosed. I was a therapist for over 10 years, have been a family nurse practitioner for over 10 years, and have a thorough knowledge of mental health and medication treatments. I am able to think outside of the box.
