Doctorally prepared psychiatric nurse practitioner.

Hello! I look forward to meeting you. I am a doctorally prepared psychiatric nurse practitioner. I primarily focus on adults aged 18 and older from all backgrounds. I prioritize underserved populations but am happy to help anyone who needs assistance. My practice emphasizes medication management for a variety of mental health concerns. I incorporate evidence-based approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, into treatment. My focus areas include, but are not limited to, deprescribing benzodiazepines, trauma, substance use, and general mental health. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
