Physician Assistant
Animo Sano Psychiatry strives to provide the best-in-class Behavioral Healthcare! To provide high-quality and accessible care for all!
Psychiatry is my passion – what I never knew I was born to do. I am excited to join Animo Sano, as their passion for psychiatry matches mine. With a commitment to behavioral health, I’m a professional and empathetic PA-C with experience in medical management, telemedicine, CBT, and lifestyle changes. My education includes a Master of Medical Science from Mercer University with a focus on Physician Assistant Studies, including an addiction management rotation and special lectures on LGBTQ safe medicine. As a former patient advocate and MA at a non-profit clinic, I understand the importance of serving underserved populations.
