About Me
I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 30 years of experience in healthcare. For over a decade, I have had the privilege of serving the Manitowoc and Sheboygan communities through Lakeshore Community Health, now Noble Community Clinics, providing comprehensive care in both primary care and behavioral health settings.
My clinical passion lies in helping individuals struggling with mental health conditions, substance use disorders, and the effects of trauma. I have extensive experience providing Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), including Suboxone and Vivitrol, and I am committed to supporting patients through recovery with a compassionate, structured, and evidence-based approach.
I believe healthcare should focus on the whole person—not just symptoms or diagnoses. Physical health, mental wellness, emotional well-being, lifestyle habits, and environmental factors all play an important role in overall health. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered to take an active role in their care.
As the founder of Mind & Body Renew, I combine traditional medicine with functional and integrative approaches to help identify and address the root causes of illness. I am passionate about partnering with patients to create individualized treatment plans that promote healing, long-term wellness, and a better quality of life.
Originally from Texas, I moved to Wisconsin in 1999 after my marriage and have proudly called this community home ever since. My husband and I have raised four wonderful children and are blessed with nine grandchildren who bring tremendous joy to our lives. When I am not caring for patients, I enjoy spending time with family, traveling, and spoiling our two beloved fur babies.
I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward better health, healing, and renewal.

Frequently asked questions
Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Milwaukee
Finding the right psychiatrist in Milwaukee starts with understanding what kind of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and provide medication management. Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can also diagnose conditions and prescribe medication. Therapists offer talk therapy, and some people choose therapy, psychiatry, or both. If you’re looking for support with anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach before booking.
Milwaukee offers a range of mental health care options, with psychiatrists available in the city and nearby areas like Wauwatosa, Cudahy, and South Milwaukee. For psychiatry, fit includes more than clinical specialty. Consider appointment availability, whether you prefer in-person or virtual visits, and whether the psychiatrist offers a free phone consultation. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Reading bios can help you understand how a psychiatrist structures visits, communicates about care, and works with people who may also be seeing a therapist.
Psychiatric care in Milwaukee can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients and match your insurance, preferences, and schedule. You can verify coverage, see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking, compare bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
