As an experienced board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I specialize in adults between the ages of 18-64 experiencing anxiety, feelings of depression, stress, grief, or sleep difficulties who want to feel better and supported. With over 10 years of experience working in different facilities across the country, my goal is to create a calm, judgment-free space where you feel comfortable, heard, and understood.
My approach is collaborative, holistic, and relaxed. I know how complex mental health can be, so I take time to understand the whole picture, including lifestyle, stress, and overall well-being, to create an individualized, realistic treatment plan. While medication can be helpful, my goal is always to provide the least amount of medication to create the best level of functioning, with you actively involved in decision-making.
Our first session will be the longest, as we discuss the issues you've been having, past mental health experiences, and your goals. I'll ask questions to better understand the full picture, and at the end, we will work together to create an individualized plan that feels comfortable and manageable. There is no pressure, just a supportive, judgment-free start.
