I have been a nurse for 19 years and recently became a Psychiatric NP. I combine my past experience with current knowledge to delivering empathetic, patient-centered care through therapeutic communication and shared decision-making.
I believe progress happens when people feel safe, heard, and respected, not rushed or judged. Whatever brings you here, you don't have to figure it out alone.
I take a holistic approach, which means I care about the whole you: your mind, your body, your culture, your sleep, your stress, your relationships, and the life you're actually living.
For our first session, you can expect a relaxed conversation about what brings you in and what you’d like to accomplish with treatment. We’ll work together to create a realistic treatment plan that makes sense for you. Medication can be part of the picture, but it's never the whole picture. Treatment may include therapy or other referrals, lifestyle changes, complementary approaches that fit your values, or a combination. We'll decide together on the next steps and a follow-up schedule.
