Great to meet you!

I am a wife, mom, former nurse (ICU and Med/surg) and now a psychiatrist. I worked as a bartender when my kids were little and I was in nursing school. I am from California originally. We love WV and will be here forever.

My approach to therapy

I am inquisitive and probing. I am always trying to look for the root problem to hopefully cure the problem from the inside out, not only medication the current symptoms.

What you can expect from me

First session will be an in-depth look at your whole mental and physical health, diagnostic clarification (I need to make my own assessment), assessment of current medications and supplements, with a formulation of the plan for your treatment going forward.
