I am a certified psychiatric nurse practitioner and clinical nurse specialist. I prescribe medications and do therapy as well. { I graduated from the University of Michigan Ann Arbor Rackham School of Graduate studies with a Master's degree in Psychiatric Nursing I have over 40 years of experience in working with individuals suffering severe mental illness and substance use disorders I am familiar with several modalities of treatment including individual, couples and family counseling I use a person-centered therapeutic relationship to establish and engage my clients in the work of personal change called therapy I often ask that homework such as journaling and relaxation activities be used between therapy sessions to solidify gains achieved in our meetings
Our first session involves a sharing of your concerns and needs related to the distressing aspects of your life A plan of therapy will prioritize and address each issue and proscribe therapy from a therapeutic perspective
I am greatly interested in what makes you feel sad anxious and distressed and how this causes a breakdown in your ability to lead a happy and fulfilled life. I am likewise interested in what works to make you feel and appreciate your best life I have always known that we make life what it is and that there is a way to make our lives better sweeter through guided introspection, the real healing occurs when we allow ourselves to look inside and find our real value and the value of others
I enjoy working with my clients who have life challenges such as employment, educational, relationship, and family issues I have 20+ years of experience prescribing for young adults, adults and elderly I utilize therapy and medications review sessions to provide the greatest impact on the life altering disorders my clients experience I find additional therapy sessions provide for the greatest therapeutic gains My clients report that they feel respected and affirmed and a sense of hope direction and resolution after these sessions.

I had a negative experience with my last care provider and tried the online route. This sounds far-fetched, but when I saw her photo I knew she was the one for me. I saw warmth and kindness and intelligence, and she is all those and so much more. She’s well-versed and experienced regarding medication, but our sessions are way beyond the cut and dried “med check” I was used to having. She has helped me immeasurably and I will continue to feel blessed to have found her.
