I have 10 years of experience in healthcare, including 8 years as a registered nurse and 2 years practicing as a nurse practitioner. My background includes emergency medicine, inpatient psychiatry, PHP/IOP, and community-based mental health care, working with both adolescents and adults.
My approach really is: "what is best for this person". I try to look at the full picture as mental health is complex. I try to always look at the big picture. What are the life stressors, the family dynamics, the genetic makeup, the past history? What has worked, and what hasn't?
I believe I have a good understanding of mental illness and generally follow an evidence based approach, but above all I tailor treatment to be very specific to the person.
I will always meet you where you are at. Not ready to quit your bad habit? That's fine, lets talk about why you showed up today and what we can do to lessen the load for you.
Your first session is a full hour dedicated to getting to know you, understanding what you’ve been experiencing, and discussing your goals. We’ll work together to create a treatment plan that feels right for you.
