I am a Board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I am compassionate about collaborating with those battling mental health conditions at all ages. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life.
Together, we will identify your challenges and goals - where you want your life to be a month, six months, a year from now. Then, we'll identify options and strategies you can use to get there. You'll leave the session with a better understanding of what you're facing with an "actions I can take right now" approach. There will always be room for suggestions concerning our work together, including keeping each other accountable.
I feel a great strength of mine as a provider is the ability to hear and empathize with my patients. I offer alternative ways to access mental health care; I will come to you in your time of need or will be a phone call away.
I am best positioned to serve those who are ready to have a better quality of life with optimal mental health and holistic wellness.
