I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from the University of Kansas Medical Center. My nursing journey began in 1990, and over the years, I’ve grown from bedside nursing into a deeply fulfilling psychiatric practice. I’m passionate about providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care that is both accessible and affordable.
My approach to care is holistic, collaborative, and rooted in quality improvement. I believe that improving mental health not only enhances daily functioning but also strengthens overall well-being. I work with clients of all ages—infants, children, adolescents, adults, and seniors—and tailor each treatment plan to fit individual needs. Whether through assessment, diagnosis, medication management, or ongoing support, I aim to help clients feel seen, heard, and empowered in their journey toward healing.
Clients describe my style as open-minded, supportive, and sometimes even lighthearted with humor when it helps ease the process. In sessions, you can expect a safe and inclusive space where we work together to address challenges, build resilience, and improve your quality of life.
If you’re seeking a mental health provider who values accessibility, compassion, and lasting results, I would be honored to partner with you in your care.
