As a Psychiatric Advanced Practice Nurse, I believe true mental health
care and healing requires sensitivity to our Whole Being, including the
environmental, social, spiritual and physical. My intention is to
encourage your healing by offering integrative, compassionate care
and creative interventions informed by my own unique professional
and life experiences.
I have had the fortune of practicing in multiple behavioral health
settings, including inpatient, outpatient and crisis intervention. In
addition to my years of experience in psychiatric medication
management, I hold a certification in an action-based psychotherapy
modality. I view psychotropic medication and other modalities as tools,
designed to empower you to uncover your innate internal resources
and explore new possibilities. Where psychotropic medication is
indicated to stabilize your symptoms, I work conservatively and
collaboratively with you to adjust the pace or dosing necessary.
Regular monitoring helps maintain stability in life’s ever- changing
conditions. Psychotherapy offers expanded possibilities in response to
these inevitable changes.
I work with adults 18 years and older and welcome individuals from
any race, religion, gender identity and sexuality. You ALL are my
teachers.
