 My role as your psychiatric-nurse practitioner is to provide a thorough, patient-centered diagnostic evaluation and determine specific evidence-based pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment modalities that may be right for you. It can be scary to consider starting medication, but with my support and guidance, we can use medication as a tool to help you improve your mental health and overall well-being. 

Outside of my clinical role, I'm a mom to two elementary aged kids and a wife. As a family, we love to mountain bike, ski, and travel around the USA in our beloved camper van. I also greatly value female friendships and enjoy spending time with good friends discussing skin care, good books, and how we can make the world better for our kids.
