I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 23 years of diversified nursing experience working with children, adolescents and adults in both outpatient and inpatient settings. I obtained my master's in nursing degree from Gonzaga University, where I received my training and mastery in specializing and treating various mental health conditions, including, but not limited to, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and bipolar disorders.
As a compassionate and empathetic caregiver, I utilize a holistic client-centered approach, one that supports the individual’s mental, physical, emotional, social and spiritual well-being. I believe in meeting my clients exactly where they are at and partnering with them on their journeys to wellness. It is my goal to make those I treat feel seen, heard and understood. I will work together with you to create an individualized care plan that fosters your unique strengths and resiliency.
During our first visit, my goal is to get to know you. I will perform an in-depth psychiatric evaluation, which includes asking about your history and current conditions. Working together, we will create a comprehensive plan of care for you. If medications are a part of your care plan, we will establish your regimen. At subsequent visits we check in on your progress and overall well-being. I am there to listen, offer guidance, supportive therapy and education as necessary.
