I specialize in working with patients who struggle with substance use disorders. My approach is based on a harm reduction model, utilizing trauma informed care and a whole person focus when considering treatment options. The care I offer is always client centric and non-judgemental. My other areas of interest include sexual health/sex positivity, and I am passionate in providing culturally sensitive care that is gender-affirming, body-positive, Alt sex/Alt relationship-affirming, and LGBTQIA informed.
The choice to pursue a course of psychiatric medication, or to continue or curtail a regimen, is a very personal one. I will be by your side to ensure that you are well supported during your course of treatment. My role as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner is to create a sustainable, holistic, and tailored medication plan to support you during times of need.
