I believe that optimal mental health is achieved through an ongoing, multi-pronged approach. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner I am well trained in the art and science of prescribing medications to improve mental health symptoms. I also encourage adjunctive treatment modalities such as CBT. Empowering patients to care for themselves is part of my goal. I embrace opportunities to help my patients gain greater personal insight, because when you can see yourself, you can change yourself.

Medications won't solve all your problems, they can give you a head start, but YOU still have to run the race. I work best with those who are looking for partnership and are ready to do the work. I integrate psycho-education, talk therapy and vitamin/herbal supplements to craft holistic, individualized treatment plans. While I am the mental health expert, YOU are the expert on YOU. We work together on goals that help you live your best life and transform into the best version of yourself.

Your initial session is 60 minutes in length. We will use this time for me to get to know you and diagnose your issues. You'll have the opportunity to share your story, be heard and understood. I'll order lab work on your initial visit which allows me to gain a comprehensive understanding of your mental health and medical needs. At the next visit we will select medications that are appropriate for your symptoms and follow up routinely to ensure that medications are both safe and effective.
