Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Prescott, AZ

I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with three years of experience providing psychiatric care in an acute inpatient setting. My background has given me extensive experience working with individuals experiencing a wide range of mental health concerns, including mood disorders, anxiety, psychosis, and complex psychiatric presentations.

I’m now expanding my practice to outpatient care, where I look forward to building longer-term therapeutic relationships and helping clients work toward meaningful, sustainable improvements in their mental health. I strive to provide compassionate, evidence-based, individualized care while creating a safe and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard and supported.

You have probably been carrying something for a while without saying it out loud: anxiety that will not switch off, grief that still ambushes you, drinking that stopped feeling like a choice, or trauma your body has not put down. Helping people find their way through that feels like my sacred calling. Ever since I was young, I've been the person who deeply listens, and I've always sensed the healing that happens when we finally have a trusted, compassionate witness to our story. The story you carry about your past can be the source of your suffering or the key to your freedom, and together we can gently begin to shift it. Whatever pain you're holding, you don't have to hold it alone. I work with individuals, and with couples and families who want to find their way back to each other.
