I have been in the nursing field for 30 years, 13 of those as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. A lifetime of experiences has taught me empathy. Seeing people at their worst and their best. There is nothing better than assisting someone to wellness. All areas of psychiatry interest me, but working with women in all stages of life is special.
Psychiatric treatment, especially in medication prescribing, requires trust. You are a very important part of a team when working with me. My style is not to write a prescription and return months later. You have choices. We will discuss options. I will provide you with all of the risks and benefits to assist you in making the choice that fits you the best. It's not always medication!
You can expect that I will LISTEN! We will discuss your symptoms, how they affect you, your goals, and how I can help you reach those goals.
