Hello and welcome to my bio! I am excited to start you on your journey to wellness. It is my goal to strongly encourage you to be an active participant in your medication treatment plan as you know your body and mind better than anyone else. My approach is undemanding with an easy-going communication style and a good sense of humor. I am a strong proponent of harm reduction, as well as destigmatizing mental heath and substance abuse disorders.
I am a dual certified Nurse Practitioner with certifications in both psychiatry and adult heath. I treat mental health conditions with medication and can also assist with limited chronic health issues. I also provide limited therapeutic interventions including CBT and talk therapy. My previous experience includes outpatient psychiatry, residential crisis mental health with mobile crisis team, primary care (Internal Medicine) and addiction medicine.
I work with adults (17 years and older) in the following areas of focus but not limited to:
Addiction
ADHD
Alcohol Use Disorder
Autism
Behavioral Issues
Bipolar Disorder
Codependency
Dissociative Disorders
Drug Abuse
Intellectual disabilities
LGBTQ+ Issues
Personality Disorders
Psychosis
Women’s Issues
When I am not seeing patients, I enjoy weightlifting, spending time with my family, my dog Finley, and traveling. I also love school and have returned recently to complete my doctorate.
