Hi, I’m Aaron, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care to adolescents and adults in Washington.
I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, PTSD, trauma-related concerns, and other mental health challenges. I believe effective psychiatric care begins with understanding the person behind the symptoms—not simply assigning a diagnosis and writing a prescription.
My approach is collaborative, practical, and individualized. During our appointments, we’ll take time to understand what you’re experiencing, how it is affecting your daily life, what you’ve tried in the past, and what you hope to accomplish through treatment. When medication may be helpful, I’ll work with you to identify an appropriate treatment option, explain the potential benefits and side effects, and monitor your response over time.
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin understanding what brings you to treatment. We’ll talk about your current concerns, your history, goals, and what you hope to get out of care. I’ll also take time to understand what has and hasn’t worked for you in the past.
My approach is collaborative and judgment-free. You can expect to be heard, respected, and involved in decisions about your treatment. When appropriate, we’ll also discuss medication options, including potential benefits, risks, and alternatives.
By the end of our first session, we’ll work together to develop a personalized treatment plan and identify practical next steps. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and confident about the path forward.
