About Me and My Approach
|
My approach: Mental clarity, strength and resilience have become passions of mine, driving me to perfect an integrated approach to practice. I want to meet you where you are, regardless of where that is mentally and physically, and together we will work to improve your well-being. My goal is for you to achieve your absolute best state of mental health so you may enjoy your life to its fullest. To achieve this goal, we will work together. I will listen carefully to ensure I understand your concerns and goals. We will then discuss treatment options which may include counseling, medication management, or both; and together we will develop a plan of care you are comfortable with. Common conditions I see include ADHD/ADD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, PTSD, bereavement, body dysmorphia, and gender dysphoria. I also offer ADHD screening, GeneSight genetic testing and bariatric evaluations.
About me: I am a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and family nurse practitioner, licensed to treat patients of all ages. Throughout my extensive career, I have had the privilege of caring for patients from all walks of life, in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I hold a Master of Science in Nursing, specializing as a family nurse practitioner from the University of Alaska, Anchorage. I also hold a post-master’s psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner certificate from Frontier Nursing University, and a Doctor of Nursing Practice from Grand Canyon University. When I am not collaborating with clients or researching the latest treatments, I enjoy sharing special moments with my family and friends. |
