I am a dual-licensed Primary Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner. My mission is to build a non-judgmental and encouraging atmosphere where patients feel seen and heard. With advanced training in psychiatry and over 20 years of nursing background, I utilize evidence-based medication management and brief therapies when indicated. Treatment is unique for each patient.
I will conduct a thorough mental health assessment tailored to your needs, evaluating mood, anxiety, and depression with evidence based tools like DSM-5, PHQ-9, and GAD-7. To gain a comprehensive understanding of your needs, we will also review your medical, mental, and family history, as well as past and present medications. We will then work together to determine if the best course of action is medicine, therapy, or a mix of the two.
