I am only offering medication management at this time, I am not offering psychotherapy.

As a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 14 years experience, I believe prioritizing mental health is the first step in achieving a life that is meaningful to you. I am only offering medication management at this time however, I do not offer psychotherapy. Prior to achieving a career as a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I completed a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy and am a firm believer in psychotherapy as a combined treatment modality for maximum benefit and personal growth. My experience working in acute services psychiatric ER, consultation-liaison service, inpatient mental health unit, and outpatient psychiatry has prepared me with a unique set of skills in swiftly identifying psychiatric emergencies, managing complex psychiatric situations/illnesses, and developing diagnostic formulations. I have experience with all readily used psychiatric medications and am well versed in psychopharmacology. I prioritize clear communication, attention to details, and empathic engagement.

I believe in collaborative care and together developing a plan to alleviate any underlying mental health pathology that you identify as interfering in leading a productive and fulfilling life. I am interested in emotional resilience and am eager to learn about your journey that has shaped your personality and brought you to this moment.

I hope you leave feeling supported, empowered, and inspired with clear goals that we have developed together. I will bring an open heart and mind to our work space. My approach is warm, sensitive, non judgmental, honest, and attentive.
