I am psychiatric nurse practitioner licensed in North Carolina. I like to help people ages 13-85 adjust to their life circumstances, whatever they may be. I use medications, therapy, referrals, and supplements to help my patients reach their goals and treat their symptoms. I like to help people obtain and education, maintain a job and be overall self sufficient.

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

I get a lot of background about my clients life, family and habits during the initial appointment. I also reveal my expectations of treatment to see if the client agrees this is a good fit.

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

I care and I will keep you safe. I will take the lead and teach and guide patients about their mental health while accepting their valued input into their care.

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

I work really well with ambitious individuals who want to optimize their mental health with the goal of enjoying life to the fullest. I enjoy patients with various diagnoses between ages 13-85. I am particularly good at helping individuals set boundaries and create work life balance.
