Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Michigan


I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 13 years of experience in behavioral health, including more than a decade as a psychiatric registered nurse. I earned my post-master’s certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from the University of Cincinnati and hold a Master of Science in Nursing with a focus in Clinical Nurse Specialist and Nursing Education from the University of Detroit Mercy.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds in outpatient, residential, correctional, and community-based settings. My areas of focus include depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, mood disorders, PTSD, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders.

I believe mental health care should be collaborative, respectful, and individualized. My goal is to create a comfortable, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understand your treatment options, and feel empowered to take an active role in your mental health and overall well-being.

Therapist

Virtual • Michigan


When anxiety, panic, or grief starts running the show, it can be hard to remember what steady even feels like. For more than 15 years, I've worked with people during difficult seasons of life, helping them make sense of strong emotions and find steadier footing. I support people dealing with stress, anxiety and panic, depression, grief and loss, trauma and PTSD, and OCD. I also work with men who want a place to talk openly about what they're carrying, and with anyone navigating family conflict, anger, or questions of identity.
