I started out as a Family Nurse Practitioner over twenty years ago, and while I learned a lot in this area of medicine, I quickly realized what I enjoyed the most was talking to and helping individuals with their mental health needs. And that is why I went back to school again to pursue my PMHNP (Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner) certification. I have treated patients with various psychiatric diagnoses including Anxiety,

Depression, PTSD, ADHD, etc. over the years. I provide medication management for children, adolescents, and adults. And while medication can be an important treatment for individuals, I do feel strongly that it should be combined with other tools. I treat all of my patients with empathy and honesty. I believe every patient is unique and treatment should be tailored to each individual’s specific needs. It’s also very important to me that my patients feel comfortable enough to be open and honest, which I feel is essential for treatment to be effective.
