I DO NOT DO 1:1 THERAPY SO PLEASE ONLY REQUEST CONSUT IF YOU NEED MEDICATION MANAGEMENT.

I am a licensed, board certified PMHNP (Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner). I provide medication management for individuals 6 years and older. I have about 6 years of experience in mental health nursing caring for hundreds of patients with a diverse range of mental health diagnosis in internal and family practice. My areas of expertise include depressive disorders, anxiety, Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder/Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD/ADD), Bipolar Disorder, and PTSD.

ALL ADHD dx- this is very thorough assessment requiring family interviewing, QB Tech assessment (out of pocket for patient), and screenings. If you have not had a thorough assessment with another provider be advised that this is required for all ADHD dx and controlled drug treatment. ADHD assessments are started on second visit after ruling out other comorbidities such as depression, anxiety, bipolar.

I believe in treating a person as a whole with a holistic approach to care thus valuing each patient’s mental, emotional, spiritual needs. I look forward to serving you and helping you along your journey.

My objective goal is to make a diagnosis and work with my patients to develop a management plan for their treatment and recovery. I am drawn to helping and improving lives of those in underserved communities. I believe in providing non-judgmental, empathetic, safe and compassionate care.

I provide supportive therapy only.
