Great to meet you!

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and thank you for taking the first step in “taking back your life” from a mental illness. I feel that each person possess’ the needed internal mechanisms for success in their life. My goal is to assist you through integrative, lifestyle, and medication management combined with the internal strengths you possess to assist in guiding you through this journey we call life. I have been in the health care field for 12+ years.

My approach to therapy

Your initial visit will consist of discussing your current concerns while assessing the biological, psychological, developmental, and social factors contributing to the issues. Please note that I do not provide new or refill prescriptions for benzodiazepines (ex.= ativan, xanax, klonipin, valium.) I do provide "light" talk therapy but not as in-depth as you would get by seeing a "talk therapist" on a weekly basis.

What you can expect from me

I seek to foster an empathetic environment with my clients by providing a comforting experience through the transformation of empathy, validation, and understanding. I offer both in-person and telehealth visits. Mainly focusing on medication management, together we will discuss their role along with suggested alternative OTC supplements and establish a Plan of Care. At this time I am not prescribing stimulants for ADHD patients.
