Psychiatric Mental Health NP

"Let’s work together to discover the most important person—YOU!" I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, grief, and PTSD. With 29 years of nursing experience, I work with clients ages 12 and up, including extensive experience working with Veterans.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Mental Health and Human Services, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, a Master of Science in Nursing Education, and a Post-Master’s Certificate as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.

My goal is to create a non judgemental, safe, trusting therapeutic relationship—one where you can release past hurts, rediscover your strengths, and embrace the importance of caring for yourself.

My appointments are all virtual and available during non conventional times for the working person with evening and weekend appointments. Trying to offer dates and times that do not interfere with your work time. I have experience with working with those who have served our country- Veterans.
