We arrive at a collaborative treatment plan focusing on psychotherapy, diet, exercise, mindfulness, and medication if it is necessary. This whole-person approach hopes to achieve wellness while providing the opportunity to learn skills to live a healthy and fulfilling life.

I believe that good mental health is a product of treating the whole person. This approach often includes psychotherapy and sometimes medication, as well as mindfulness meditation, exercise, and a healthy diet. In my experience, a whole-person centered approach can decrease reliance on medications and help the patient achieve a sense of agency in their psychological wellness.

My ideal client is an individual that is open and motivated for treatment. Healing requires hardwork and dedication. It is important for them to understand that healing is a journey and is not accomplished overnight. I will be an active participant in the healing journey, but I will not be the only participant. Therefore, it is highly important that the individual is committed to the process. I am not a "pill pushing provider" so it is also important to understand and open to therapy being involved in your treatment.

As a Nurse Practitioner with dual certification in Psychiatry and Gender and Sexuality Related Care (also known as Women's Health), I am uniquely prepared to help with both the hormonal and role transitions of parenthood and gender.
Parenting is a journey--you don't have to do it alone. Originally, the mission of Eucalyptus Health focused on parents, but the need for affirming psychiatric providers for the LGBTQIA+ community and veterans became increasingly apparent. Given my knowledge base of the brain, hormones, sexuality, gender roles, eating disorders, and pregnancy, as well as my lived experience as a nonbinary person and Army veteran, I am delighted to help people get back to enjoying their lives to the fullest.
