I’m a licensed psychologist with more than three decades of experience in psychotherapy, psychological assessment, and trauma-informed care. My background includes extensive work with adults, adolescents, and children across private practice, medical settings, and the VA’s PTSD clinic, where I provided both treatment and disability evaluations. I completed my doctorate at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in an APA-approved Counseling Psychology program and an APA-accredited internship with broad training in assessment, psychotherapy, and multidisciplinary collaboration. I specialize in trauma, mood and anxiety disorders, dissociation, family-of-origin issues, and helping people untangle long-standing patterns that keep them stuck. My style is warm, open-minded, and direct, meeting people right where they are while helping them move toward where they want to be.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Are you the person who keeps it all together but you're exhausted doing it? I specialize in substance abuse, anxiety, burnout, and depression. Many of my patients spent decades being told they were fine, just anxious, just disorganized, just needed to try harder. They weren't. They needed the right evaluation and the right support.

I offer telehealth psychiatric care across Washington State. Most patients are seen within 1–2 weeks. I accept Cigna, Aetna, Quest Behavioral Health, and Carolina plans.

If you're ready to stop managing symptoms alone and start actually understanding your brain, I'd love to work with you.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

I believe effective mental health care begins with trust, collaboration, and respect. My approach is empowering, compassionate, open-minded, and culturally sensitive. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where adolescents and adults feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their care. I combine a holistic, whole-person perspective with evidence-based psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, medication management, and supportive psychotherapy to create personalized treatment plans that promote lasting wellness.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with more than 20 years of nursing experience in hospitals, outpatient clinics, private practices, community health centers, and behavioral health settings. I treat a wide range of conditions, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma-related disorders, psychotic disorders, and other complex mental health concerns.

My career also includes international humanitarian work with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), where I cared for individuals affected by conflict and crisis. This experience strengthened my commitment to providing compassionate, culturally responsive, and patient-centered care for people from diverse backgrounds.

In addition to my clinical practice, I am the author of several mental health publications that reflect my dedication to education, evidence-based practice, and improving patient outcomes. I currently provide comprehensive psychiatric care through Oasis Behavioral Health and Elevated Behavioral and Transitional Health.

My goal is to partner with you to develop practical, individualized strategies that improve emotional well-being, daily functioning, and overall quality of life.

You can’t break out of a cage you’re still trying to decorate. I’ve been many people’s 4th/5th/8th/9th therapist and been told they felt like something finally clicked for them. I care about it clicking. My approach is based on self-compassion and living an integrated life. Even if you’re motivated to change, it’s still hard because negative events can shape beliefs about the world and ourselves that we often don’t even realize we hold. So we start with self-compassion, and then work on trying to bring our actions into alignment with our goals. I’ve been a therapist for over a decade now, and I promise – self-compassion is the move.
