Great to meet you!

As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and a proud alumnus of the University of Washington, I provide comprehensive psychiatric medication management services to patients across all stages of life. My professional journey includes a Doctorate in Nursing Practice (DNP) and extensive experience in various healthcare settings. Additionally, I am dedicated to advancing the nursing field as an instructor at nursing schools in Washington State.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to care is holistic and patient centered. I believe in building strong therapeutic relationships with my clients, grounded in empathy and respect. I specialize in brief talk therapy and psychiatric medication management, tailoring my methods to meet the unique needs of each individual. My goal is to create a supportive environment where clients feel heard and empowered to take an active role in their mental health journey.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect a collaborative and compassionate approach to their mental health care. My sessions are designed to provide clarity, support, and effective treatment plans that address immediate and long-term needs. I strive to foster a safe and welcoming space where clients can openly discuss their concerns and work towards achieving their mental health goals.
