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.
