Who I am:

​

As a dually-certified Advanced Practice Registered Nurse, I am specialized in both family practice and psychiatry/mental health. I have over 9 years of nursing and related medical education, with extensive psychotherapy and psychopharmacy education and training.

 

As both a Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I understand how physical and mental conditions affect each other, and how they impact your life. Whether your problem stems from anxiety, fears, mood difficulties, or thought and processing problems, I can help. It is truly my privilege to work with each unique individual who comes for help.

 

Medications:

​

I am conservative in using medications, as I believe in utilizing the body’s own amazing restorative and supportive abilities to maximize one’s health. Therefore, I believe in prescribing the fewest number of medications at the lowest effective doses.

​

Therapy:

​

Clinical research shows us that in many cases, therapy is supportive and at times, as effective or more effective than medication alone. As a client of mine, we will use brief, solution-focused strategies to assist in meeting your goals. Should your plan include weekly therapy for a full hour, referrals will be provided.
