I have a passion for mental healthcare & a keen understanding of the difficulty in finding affordable care, let alone the right care. I believe involving clients as equal partners is vital to the healing process. My approach integrates evidence based practice with a holistic focus on social, emotional, physical & spiritual wellbeing. I am a board certified psychiatric NP with over 20 years experience in nursing and mental health. I have worked in community mental health, crisis support, and previously ran an educational therapy practice focused on supporting the needs of neurodiverse clients. Scheduling is available via my website!
I offer medication management, psychotherapy, and executive skills function training. I specialize in the care of clients with autoimmune conditions supporting clients in understanding the relationship between their chronic condition and mental health. Other focus areas include ADHD/ rejection sensitivity dysphoria and trauma.
I view my work as that of a facilitator and work hard to build a trusting, nonjudgmental environment. I understand that medication alone is never the answer and that all modalities, including complementary/ alternative medicine, have value. We work together to identify your needs, desired outcomes, and develop the right treatment interventions for you.
