Great to meet you!

As a health care provider, patient advocacy has been the cornerstone of my practice. I am a highly self-sufficient professional, confident in my ability to independently manage and resolve a wide range of common challenges and unpredictable situations in healthcare. As a doctorial prepared nurse practitioner, I've had the opportunity to build tools to support providers with improving the accuracy of their diagnoses. My autonomous background has provided me with a proven record in treating Mood Disorders, Eating Disorders, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Women's Health related psychiatric disorders, Body Dysmorphia, as well as Sleep Disorders. Working within a diverse population including rural health has prepared me to serve and cater to the complexity and challenges faced by my clients, across all ages. In my spare time outside of the office, I enjoy reading, exercise, traveling, and playing with my puppy.

My approach to therapy

With over 15 years of experience as a healthcare provider, my core focus has been on delivering individualized care that drives optimal health outcomes and enhances patient satisfaction. My professional principles and extensive experience are strongly aligned with the goal of patient empowerment, which is built on the framework of patient-centered care.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we will work on getting formally acquainted and we will start to build a relationship together. We will cover a detailed thorough history along with discussing previously diagnosed and treated Psychiatric Conditions. You and I will evaluate your current treatment plan and its effectiveness, and focus on future treatment goals.
