Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Arizona


I work with teenagers and adults navigating suffering that encompasses the human experience I believe that mental health is deeply connected to the body, and that lasting healing happens when we care for both. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and integrative, recognizing that each person's experiences, strengths, and goals are unique. A lifetime of physical challenges have shaped the way I practice and strengthened my belief that our emotional and physical well-being are inseparable and have deepened my commitment to helping others find meaningful, sustainable paths toward healing.

I strive to create a safe, inclusive, and affirming space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. I welcome people of all genders, identities, backgrounds, and lived experiences, and I tailor treatment to meet your individual values and goals.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and a Family Nurse Practitioner with a background in Anthropology, my appreciation for the biological, psychological, social, cultural and spiritual factors that influence our mental and physical health are pervasive throughout my care. I have additional fellowship training in Integrative Reproductive Mental Healthcare and am currently pursuing advanced fellowship training in Nutritional Psychiatry and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. I am wholeheartedly committed to providing evidence-based, inclusive care that honors each person's unique journey.
