Great to meet you!

I am a dually certified Psychiatric Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner and I have extensive psychiatric nursing experience having worked in inpatient, homecare and outpatient settings. I obtained my PMHNP certification from Regis College. I have experience in Anxiety disorders, Bipolar disorders, Mood disorders, Psychotic disorders and other mental illness.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I have a holistic approach and often incorporate pharmacology and psychoeducation to help my clients gain insight into their conditions, embrace their strengths and overcome their challenges. I utilize a client-centered approach with shared decision making to formulate individualized treatment goals and optimize treatment adherence.

What you can expect from our first session

My goal is to work together with my clients to formulate the best treatment plan; built on care, respect and understanding. I understood the stigma surrounding mental illness and difficulties clients may be experiencing and I hope to be able to work with each and every of my client to find that balance and help them navigate life as best as they can.
