Hello! I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) based in Tennessee. I am a dually certified provider and received my Masters in psychiatric mental health from the University of Maryville. I help clients struggling with mental health disorders and medication management become the best versions of themselves. Disorders include, but are not limited to anxiety, depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and bipolar disorder.

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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing along with any important history that may need to be provided. We will discuss prior medications and treatments, along with what worked well, ok, or not at all. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

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

My empathy and ability to act as a patient's advocate are my greatest strengths as a provider. These qualities enable me to fully place the patient first in my decision making with patient treatments and medications.

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

I love working with adolescent to adult clients who have mental health concerns and may also need medication for management. My clients have a desire to improve but may not know where to start or what steps to take to overcome their fears and make this goal a reality. They often feel overwhelmed, anxious, or have decreased interest and motivation in their lives and careers.
