Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner | Expert Medication Management for Mental Health Finding the right medication can be transformative for your mental health journey, but the process often feels confusing and uncertain. As a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 25 years of clinical experience, I specialize in helping clients like you find the right treatment plan through careful medication evaluation, management, and ongoing monitoring.
During our initial appointment, we'll conduct a thorough psychiatric evaluation to understand your medical history, current symptoms, and treatment goals. Together, we'll discuss your concerns about medication, explore what matters most to you in your recovery, and develop an individualized treatment plan. I'll explain how medications work, what side effects to monitor, and what success looks like for you specifically. You'll leave our first session with clarity, answers to your questions, and confidence moving forward. My goal is to make medication management feel collaborative, not overwhelming.

I work best with clients seeking psychiatric medication management and evaluation for conditions including depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and trauma-related conditions. My ideal clients are those who are ready to take an active role in their treatment, willing to discuss medication concerns openly, and committed to monitoring their progress. I serve individuals across the lifespan—from adolescents to older adults—who benefit from evidence-based psychopharmacology combined with supportive counseling. I'm particularly suited for clients who need careful medication optimization, those managing complex or treatment-resistant conditions, and individuals transitioning between treatment providers or starting psychiatric care for the first time.
Other specialties
I identify as
Integrative
I use an integrative approach that draws from multiple therapeutic modalities to address the unique needs of each individual client. Rather than applying a single framework to everyone, I combine evidence-based techniques tailored to what works best for each person. My focus is on treating the whole person and improving their overall quality of life through a realistic, individualized plan.
Eclectic
I take an eclectic approach, selecting and combining therapeutic techniques from various schools of thought based on what will be most effective for each individual client. I believe there is no single program that works for everyone, and I adapt my methods to meet each person where they are, focusing on realistic and practical strategies that improve their quality of life.
Strength-Based
I use a strength-based approach that identifies and builds upon each client's existing strengths, resources, and resilience. Rather than focusing solely on problems, I help clients recognize what is already working in their lives and leverage those strengths to improve their overall well-being and quality of life.

Charles went above and beyond by personally reaching out to me to when there was a scheduling mix up and was available at that very moment to get me the help I desperately needed. Charles i assure you absolutely cares and he is quite knowledgeable. Charles has what I describe as infinite wisdom as he seemed to be able to quickly ascertain who I was and knew what I needed. Can't say enough about how great he is! I give him 5 stars!
