Depression

Great to meet you!

I am a Nurse Practitioner (Family & PMHNP) that provides holistic care focusing on weight loss coaching, medical weight loss, and medication management in depression, anxiety, and ADHD. I completed my undergraduate studies and Doctorate in Nursing Practice-Family Nurse Practitioner from Pacific Lutheran University. I then went on to complete my PMHNP through the University of Cincinnati. I have also received my Certificate of Advanced Education from Obesity Medicine Association.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I believe that all patients should be treated with respect and compassion.

What you can expect from our first session

I seek to provide balanced and holistic care to every patient, addressing the mind, body, and spirit.

*Note I do not prescribe controlled substances outside the states of WA or OR; controlled substances are limited and restricted to current patients only at this time.
