I am a licensed Psychiatric Mental Health Provider with over 25 years of medical experience. I am passionate about mental health and its effects on our daily lives. I started my career as an RN in the emergency room, advancing as a Family Nurse Practitioner in 2004. I encountered and treated many mental health patients as a Family Nurse Practitioner both in the Emergency Room and Family Practice. This led me to complete my mental health certification. I specialize in Trauma Informed Care and consider myself a great listener to my patients. While I assist with the certification and evaluation of ADHD, I do not prescribe traditional stimulant ADHD medication. I would be happy to assist with referrals for this condition. I look forward to our journey together.
I will start their first session with introductions and getting to know the client. I am a relaxed, open-minded professional.
I use active listening, talk therapy, and medication therapy to treat patients.
I feel that my strengths are as an active listener, empathy, ability to help with direction, and many years of experience with RX therapy in mental health.
I love working with clients who are motivated to improve. I feel that through active listening, I am able to establish a rapport and come up with a good treatment plan together.
