Please call practice phone number or complete online request form through the website link to set up an initial appointment - I am a doctorally prepared, board certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I have a wide variety of experience with treating conditions such as anxiety, depression, and thought disorders across the lifespan. I am currently accepting pediatric (6yrs+), adolescent, and adult patients. I had a background in family practice prior to transitioning into psychiatry and thus love caring for both individuals and multiple generations of the same family.
I believe one of the most important aspects of treatment is building a relationship. As a provider, I want to spend time getting to know you so I can understand what is contributing to how you feel and how we can best work together to help reach your goals.
Though much of my role focuses on medication management, a typical appointment will include discussion of life stressors or other issues that may impact your mood or function.
