I am a Board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree. I hold a board certification through the American Nurses Credentialing Center as well as an ASAM waiver to provide Medication-Assisted Treatment for those with substance use disorders. I have extensive experience in the Mental Health field treating patients with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions that have been in great need.
I see each patient as a unique individual and consider their holistic circumstances when evaluating their mental health needs. I always discuss different treatment options with patients, create an individualized care plan that will meet each patient’s needs, and work with them to achieve their care plan goals.
I make a point to listen and try to understand patients’ needs beyond simply prescribing medication. I see the decision-making process as collaborative, educating the patient throughout the process as I combine medication and psychotherapy for the best results. I am accepting new clients between the ages of 6 through 60.
