I am a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Seeing the overlay of trauma, mental health and substance abuse across all ages, identities, races and religions led me to want to help my patients on a deeper level to make change and be present for their change on a more personal level. Medication management, ADHD, depression, anxiety/panic, bipolar, and insomnia, are just a few of my specialties. I have additional training in addictions to help serve as many patients as I can regardless of their diagnoses or comorbidities. I believe in treating mental illness holistically and individually, and offer a wide range of high-quality psychiatric therapies. I am dedicated to providing high-quality, evidence-based care to patients and their families, as well as providing education about mental illness, treatment options, and overall health.

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

The initial sessions will serve as an introduction to the process, laying the groundwork for effective therapeutic dialogue and relationship building. Though familiarity and trust may take some time to develop, I pledge to make the journey less complicated and daunting. I manage, educate, and prescribe medications as needed.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

Depending on the individual patient's condition and my assessment of their needs, I may recommend one or more of several different types of psychotherapy, medicine, psychosocial therapies, or other treatments.

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

My ability to understand and empathize with those who are struggling with mental health issues, especially depression, is one of my greatest strengths. Mental illness has always been taboo in my family, and we never brought it up until it was too late. Whether or not it is discussed,  mental health disorders are very real . It corrodes us from within, and it can be terrifying to feel like there's no end in sight. My hope is that by working through our problems together, I might help ease your symptoms.
