As a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I am able to provide a comprehensive mental health assessment and medication management. It is my belief that collaborating with patients and families can result in better outcomes and satisfaction. I am passionate in partnering with clients to develop realistic goals. Typically, appointments may be more frequent until we establish stability.
I provide brief supportive therapy and medication management. I am a member of the Association of Advanced Practice Psychiatric Nurses (AAPPN) and participate in the Washington State Prescription Monitoring Program. When indicated I can provide a referral for TMS or use genetic testing to optimize ideal medication for you. I look forward to being a partner in your healing journey.
