I am a Family Nurse Practitioner with 25 years of clinical practice working with adults and children. I am experienced in treating ADHD, depression, anxiety, and insomnia. While major life events, such as trauma, grief, divorce, and pregnancy loss, can trigger these conditions, I have also found nutritional deficits, hormonal issues, or Lyme disease can be a root cause impairing a person's ability to cope. As an Integrative provider I incorporate lab analysis, functional medicine modalities including lifestyle modifications, supplements, and if needed, prescription medication to create a holistic treatment plan for each patient.

People choose to pursue therapy when challenges begin to impact their ability to think, feel and behave in ways that are helpful, productive and satisfying. Challenges emerge as part of a script, a story we tell ourselves about what is true about our identity, strengths/weaknesses, relationships, and our place in the world. Common symptoms of anxiety and depression, for example, are not "problems" as much as they are a result of frustrated attempts to manage challenges. One of the goals of therapy is to rewrite that script, and create a new story of ourselves with tools to pursue a life of purpose and meaning.

Life has many challenges. It's how you grow from your past that defines who you are in life. You may feel alone, misunderstood, and unfulfilled with your life or personal relationships.
