PMHNP, 21 years of experience
Hello! I am a Nurse Practitioner with board certifications in family and psychiatric medicine. I received my Master's in Nursing from Western Carolina University and I have been in practice for over 20 years. I believe a holistic approach serves people in the best possible way and I use a combination of medicine, and lifestyle coaching to optimize your mental health. I also offer Genesight testing for a more individualized approach to your medication management.
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 medication and herbal options that can help you get there. Referral to a psychotherapist will be offered to further your journey. 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.
I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows people to explore concerns related to anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. My strength lies in my compassion and focus to help you. I will listen to you and together we can help you embrace your journey towards a healthy and rewarding life.
I love working with people who are ready to challenge themselves and make changes towards their personal growth. My approach is not just medication management, but working as a team to integrate your body, mind, and soul so that you can become the best possible version of you. I am not able to offer therapy only options at this time.
