I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner through the ANCC. I have been working in the mental health field for over 15 years - I have experience working in a long-term state mental health facility, community mental health, addiction rehabilitation, partial hospitalization, psychiatric emergency room and private practice.
Empowering individuals to meet their individualized mental health goals through a team approach is my passion. I treat the whole person not a diagnosis. I think outside of the box and provide education, treatment options, and support each person in obtaining their optimal level of mental health. I am educated and experienced in Autism Spectrum D/O and enjoy educating parents to supporting those with the diagnosis.
Our first visit is a thorough history from your childhood to adult hood including medical comorbidities, trauma or abuse and past mental health treatment. Your goal of treatment and the pathway to your goal is created. I will collaborate with your other doctors, providers and therapists to ensure we treat the whole person.
