I graduated from the University of Utah in 2011 with my Master of Science degree in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing. Prior to that I served in the United States Marine Corps and then worked as an RN at the Veterans Hospital in Salt Lake City. I work with a variety of populations and focus on medication management but also emphasize overall physical and mental health and wellness.
As a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner I treat mental health conditions using a holistic approach. My goal is to help my clients restore feelings of stability and well-being by working with each client to develop a specialized plan of care for their needs. My training has offered me the ability to provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management and supportive therapy. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, mood disorders, abuse/trauma, adjustment issues, sleep difficulties, ADHD, impulsivity, Bipolar disorder and co-occurring disorders.
I believe that medications can be very useful when treating mental health and should be used in conjunction with therapy and other lifestyle changes to optimize improvement.
Every client is treated as an individual with their own specific goals.
Before the first session intake forms will be sent via email and will need to be completed before the initial appt so we have more time to spend creating an indivualized treatment plan.
