I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. I have a master's degree in psychiatric nursing as well as a master's degree in psychology. I welcome people from all walks of life, including people of any ethnicity, race, gender or sexual preference, and religious or spiritual practice. I am committed to providing a collaborative and accepting atmosphere where everyone feels welcome.
I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults in inpatient, outpatient, and residential settings. I have experience providing psychiatric assessment, medication management, and individual, family, and group therapy. I have experience treating depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, OCD, personality disorders, and ADHD.
I provide psychiatric assessment, medication management, and psychotherapy. I use an individualized approach to assist my clients in achieving wellness, fulfillment, and recovery.
I studied existential phenomenological (EP) psychology while earning my first master's degree. After I graduated, I learned to incorporate cognitive behavioral , motivational interviewing, and mindfulness approaches. I then decided to train as a psychiatric nurse practitioner in order to incorporate a medical perspective and to be able to provide psychiatric medications.
I tend to be practical rather than committed to one perspective or approach. This means that rather than try to put you in a particular mold we will work together to find what works best for you. Our work together can be creative and spontaneous or structured, depending on your needs or goals. I believe that psychology and psychiatry should focus not only on mental illness but how we can help inspire our clients to achieve their full potential.
