I am a dedicated psychiatric nurse practitioner providing medication management. I have over 25 years in mental health as nurse practitioner, social worker, and nurse. My helping journey from the bedside to the office has helped me embrace each client as a whole person. I welcome clients for virtual care from adolescence to senior years.
I like to get to know you, what your concerns and strengths are, and what you're going through right now. Whether working with clients in the past as a social worker, nurse, and now as a medication prescriber, I have supported clients through all of life's ups and downs. I favor the least intrusive medication at the lowest effective dose and believe in minimizing side effects as much as possible.
In every session, I want to hear all your questions and concerns and begin building a thorough understanding of your specific situation and needs. You can expect me to be thoughtful and accepting, with a gentle humor about life and the usual trials of being a human. In our first session, I will usually ask a lot of questions, to ensure that I provide the best possible care for you. Sometimes we'll start on a medication right away or we might decide to revisit medications at a follow-up session. Hope, help, and connection begins the next step in healing.
