Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN)
“There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t.” ― John Green
I am a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. I specialize in the treatment of many psychiatric diagnoses including Depression, Anxiety, OCD, Bipolar, addiction, and several other psychiatric symptoms. I believe a holistic approach in treating both mind and body is needed to create significant and lasting positive change. My approach to implementing these changes includes a wide variety of services, to both assess, diagnose, and treat mental and physical needs individually. I do not believe in a “one size fits all” approach. Therefore, my assessments are thorough and include an in-depth history, an understanding of past and current symptoms, and utilizing other diagnostic tools such as genetic testing, labs, and psychological tests to gain an understanding of your unique individual history and current needs. I have worked in healthcare since 2004 and began working in psychiatric healthcare setting in 2010, including inpatient acute care, forensics, residential, and outpatient services. I provide psychiatric services for patients ranging from ages 6-64. I look forward to meeting you!
