Modern Psychiatry is failing many of us. If you're skeptical of the transactional model of psychiatry, where you rattle off some symptoms and leave with a prescription, then we'll work well together. Living life mental health focuses on truths to facilitate healing. I've held a license to practice nursing since 2001 and have continued my education with real life experiences to connect with people and empower them to work towards a life with meaning. I look forward to hearing your story and coming up with a plan to give you back your life. If you're hoping for something more than a prescription, or if you're already taking multiple medications and still not feeling well, then I'll be happy to help sort things out with you.

I work to narrow down the abundance of information about mental health and medications and tailor it to the clients unique circumstances. I am honest about side effects and the limitations of research and safety regarding medications. I listen with my whole head and heart.

We'll spend the first session or sessions getting to know you, hearing how you tell your story is as important to hearing your story.
