I work with children and adolescents that struggle with behaviors related to autism, and children and adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, mood disorders, anxiety and depression. I am here to help and guide you by offering safe medication recommendations that can help to reduce symptoms and help with communicating your feelings in psychotherapy.
A nurse practitioner is a compassionate and understanding healthcare provider that works with others to help develop opportunities to aid in a person's overall quality of life. I am a nurse practitioner who will listen and work with you to improve your mental health.
If you are on the fence about the concept of medications, I understand. The topic of medications can sometimes make one feel a little uneasy. I am here to offer education and answer questions that you may have- I am an advocate for you.
