I have over 24 years of experience in nursing and over 5 years as a Board Certified Nurse Practitioner. I have worked in the areas of Psychiatry, Cardiac Critical Care, Addictions, Leadership through Shared Governance, and Strategic Planning. As a Nurse Practitioner I have provided care to patients in Primary Care, Pain Management, and have concentrated my work in Psychiatric Mental Health/Addictions areas of care.

I believe that collaboration between the provider and patient serves as the foundation for a successful outcome.

I am a patient advocate who empowers patients to become active partners in their own care and to engage in planning and setting goals. I value honesty, empathy, and mutual respect, and these values guide the decisions I make in providing empathetic and optimal care to my patients.
