I graduated with my Masters in the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) specialty and Doctorate in Nursing (DNP) degrees from Duke University, ranked the best graduate nursing program in the country for the last 4 years. I am an APNA board member in the Kansas state chapter, have published research in the Journal of Emergency Nurses, and am adjunct faculty in Duke's graduate nursing program. I provide evidence-based psychiatric care to help people achieve their goals. This includes creating an empathetic, safe environment. Many patients value a treatment approach that is holistic and considers their unique needs.
I currently work as a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner assessing, diagnosing, prescribing medicine, and incorporating psychotherapy into (almost) all appointments. I see patients across the lifespan ages 5-75, and specialize in ADHD, depression, anxiety, OCD, eating disorders, trauma, schizophrenia spectrum, and substance misuse.
I’m passionate about integrating psychotherapy into medication management appointments, policy improvement in healthcare, and abolishing the stigma around mental health disorders. Asking for help can be intimidating; I am here to support you with an inclusive and welcoming space. You deserve my very best efforts, and I am committed to giving you that.

I love my job. I enjoy psychiatry being both an art and a science. The artistry lies in our ability to translate complex science into hope for patients. I am fascinated by the complexity of the brain and the variety of ways a patient and I can formulate a plan to achieve a healthy mind.

While my main role is medication management, I (almost) always incorporate psychotherapy into appointments. Evidence reflects utilizing therapy alongside medication is (in most cases) the best path toward healing and recovery.

Every person is different, so I use a variety of therapeutic modalities depending on each patient's unique needs. The basis of my therapeutic focus is providing unconditional positive regard for all people while demonstrating humility, genuine inquiry, and marshaling empathy and compassion.
