I have been practicing since 2023 but began working in healthcare in 2013. I started as a medical assistant before going on to become a medical scribe for one of Arizona's largest community mental health organizations. I then become an RN with a primary focus on treatment of substance use disorders/addiction medicine before advancing my training and becoming a PMHNP. My main focus is now medication management to help with mental health concerns.
I believe that in addition to medication management, the importance of lifestyle changes, exercise, proper nutrition, and psychotherapy are integral components of mental health.
Prior to the first session, you will receive a portal invite to Simple Practice to complete additional consents and forms. During the first session, you can expect a nonjudgmental space where you are encouraged to speak freely about your concerns. I understand that opening up to someone new about personal concerns can feel intimidating and I hope to ease that discomfort by creating a supportive environment. By the end of our first meeting, I hope you leave feeling confident that you've taken a meaningful step toward healing.
