Great to meet you!

A former staff nurse and chief nursing officer for mental health hospitals, I have a variety of experiences in mental health. I graduated with a dual master's degree in business administration and nurse executive leadership before securing my doctorate in nursing, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner specialty. I practice as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner in Washington and Oregon.

My approach to therapy

While medications are a meaningful intervention for many of those with mental health concerns and symptoms. I believe in whole person care and place a substantial amount of emphasis on psychotherapy as well. I provide trauma-informed care from a place of empathy and compassion for all of my clients.

What you can expect from me

In your first session, I will take a detailed history and learn more about you and your mental health journey. We will explore potential treatment plans that are tailored to your specific needs.
