I've worked in some facet of psychiatric care for over 16 years. Currently, I see patients in private practice, work weekend days at Harborview Medical Center in the psychiatric ER and teach a graduate course on psychopharmacology. When working in private practice I consider it a priority that you know what medication you are taking and why it was chosen, what our 'working diagnosis' is and why, and that you maintain a sense of autonomy and choice regarding the treatments available to you for your needs.

As an integrative and functional medicine Psychiatry Nurse Practitioner, I provide a holistic treatment approach for individuals seeking relief from mental distress. Medicine can be a helpful tool, but some people don't like to be on medication, while others want to be on the minimum amount possible; I will work with you to find that inner peace and freedom you desire. When needed, I prescribe psychiatric medication as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, including exercise, meditation, vitamins, and nutritional supplements.

With a rich background in mental health, I bring a unique blend of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, addiction specialist, and educator in psychology. However, at the heart of my practice, I am a dedicated psychotherapist. My journey in medicine, culminating in my board certification in Psychiatry in Washington State in 2017, has always been driven by a passion for understanding and nurturing the human psyche. While I am equipped to prescribe medication when it supports treatment, my primary focus is on delivering comprehensive psychodynamic psychotherapy for optimal patient care.

Let's level with each other. You're struggling. Maybe you thought you could deal with it on your own. Maybe you thought you'd grow out of it. Maybe you feel like things shouldn't constantly be so hard. You're irritated, distracted, overwhelmed and feeling low. Your moods are anything but stable. You try to help yourself but nothing is working and you can't catch a break. You're not convinced therapy could help. Maybe you're nervous about the idea of medication. Maybe you feel misunderstood and unheard. You feel like no one will actually listen to you or consider what you want and need.

Waitlist for new clients
In addition to medication management, I use an Internal Family Systems (IFS) lens to approach healing. IFS is a non-pathologizing, transformative, and evidence-based psychotherapy that guides individuals toward access and love of their inner protective and wounded parts. This includes exploration of thoughts, feelings, sensations, and imagery. In addition to IFS, I draw from narrative therapy and other somatically oriented approaches including mindfulness and Vipassana meditation, and I am fascinated by the transformation that can occur when we become curious about the body’s wisdom.

My approach to therapy is to acknowledge and respect that this is a collaborative process where we together explore how your beliefs, thoughts, and unique chemistry, along with your physical health, social and spiritual experiences affect who you are and how satisfied you are with your life. In a safe and comfortable environment we can learn what it is you are want to understand and what you wish to accomplish in our work together. I provide counseling, therapy, medication management and alternatives to medication when indicated. I have experience working with individuals, couples and families.

I take a collaborative approach with my patients. I like to know what my patients’ goals are so I can tailor the treatment to help them achieve their goals as much as possible. Knowing what’s important to my patients helps me know what treatments to recommend or when to suggest a change to the treatment. I find that patients experience the most success if they are open to talking about their treatment options.
