Hello and welcome. I am a dual-certified nurse practitioner with over ten years of experience specializing in comprehensive psychiatric medication management for adolescents and adults. My practice is focused on the careful assessment, diagnosis, prescribing, and ongoing optimization of psychiatric medications for a broad range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, trauma-related disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and related conditions. I have worked with individuals across the lifespan and am currently accepting new patients ages 13 and older. My approach to care is collaborative and evidence-based, with a strong emphasis on medication effectiveness, safety, tolerability, and long-term outcomes. Treatment decisions are made thoughtfully and in partnership with you, ensuring medications align with your symptoms, goals, and overall functioning. I believe healing is best supported through individualized, intentional medication management that honors the whole person, heart, soul, and mind. I am committed to supporting you with clarity, compassion, and continuity throughout your treatment journey.
During our initial medication management assessment, we will begin with brief introductions and then take a comprehensive review of your past and current medication experiences, including effectiveness, side effects, and concerns. We will also explore the symptoms and challenges that led you to seek care. This collaborative discussion allows me to develop an individualized medication treatment plan aligned with your clinical needs, preferences, and goals, establishing a clear and supportive foundation for progress in follow-up visits.
As a DNP-prepared, dual-certified nurse practitioner in primary care and psychiatry with over 20 years of experience in healthcare, I am deeply committed to whole person care. My unique blend of medical and psychiatric expertise allows me to provide compassionate, integrated medication management that supports healing of the heart, soul, and mind.
You don’t want to feel like just another prescription and you don’t have to. I work with individuals who are looking for more than quick fixes: people who want to understand their mental health, feel genuinely heard, and be active partners in their care. My approach combines medication management with a trauma-informed lens, recognizing that your past experiences, physical health, and daily stressors all play a role in how you feel. Together, we’ll create a plan that actually fits your life. I prioritize listening without judgment, explaining options clearly, and giving you real choices so your treatment feels collaborative, not prescriptive. My clients often value a thoughtful, whole-person approach that integrates medication with lifestyle, therapy, and personal goals. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, mood changes, trauma, or life transitions, the focus is on helping you feel more stable, empowered, and like yourself again. Care here is intentional, respectful, and centered on lasting change, not just symptom relief.
Integrative
As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I take an integrated, trauma-informed approach to medication management that recognizes how past experiences, physical health, emotional wellbeing, and life stressors all influence mental health. Our work together is grounded in safety, respect, and collaboration. I prioritize listening without judgment, providing clear education about medication options, and offering choices whenever possible so you remain an active partner in your care. Treatment decisions are made thoughtfully, integrating medication with your personal history, strengths, goals, and, when appropriate, therapy and lifestyle supports. My goal is to promote meaningful healing while minimizing distress, avoiding re-traumatization, and ensuring your care feels empowering rather than prescriptive.
