(she/her)
I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with 2.5 years of experience and 17 years of experience as a Registered Nurse. I have a master’s degree in Nursing Leadership and Management and a Post Master’s in Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I have seventeen years of experience as a nurse and seven years of experience in long-term care. As a nurse, I have worked in emergency settings, medical-surgical settings, hospices, and skilled nursing facilities (nursing homes).
In our first session, the clients will recognize the complexity of treating their mental health disorders. My goals for my clients are to facilitate understanding of how their lives can thrive while integrating effective strategies for managing their mental health, which will help me create an individualized plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, my strengths lie in empathy, compassion, and attentive listening, enabling me to build strong connections with individuals. I assist them in expressing emotions and thoughts while providing valuable guidance. I am committed to continuous learning and recognizing mental health as an evolving field.

Sandy is amazing! Was able to connect with her immediately and was able to get effective treatment for my symptoms. Sandy listens to my concerns and was always makes time to ask if I have any questions.
