Certified Nurse Practitioner, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

I am a Certified Nurse Practitioner specializing in psychiatry with 30 years of nursing experience and 7 years in mental health. I take pride in spending time with my patients and believe in patient-centered care. My focus is ages 18 - 64 with depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, stress, grief, loss, and other mental health issues I look forward to meeting you.

I practice different modalities with brief interventions including interpersonal, patient-centered, strength-based, cognitive-behavioral, positive psychology, insight-oriented, and humanistic, using light talk therapy and a holistic approach. 

Patients are required to address their medical needs by routine follow-up with their primary care providers and specialists for medical issues, physicals, diagnostic tests, and labs.

Intensive therapy will be referred to an outside agency.  

The initial meeting will be an approximate 60 -120 min. assessment with psychiatric, social, family, and medical history. We will develop a treatment plan together with interventions, medications, and symptom management. Follow up visits will be an approximate 20-60 min. session with an evaluation of progress and new developments. 

Accepting new patients with low to moderate acuity. 

We do not accept disability, workers compensation, FMLA, legal issues, or similar issues, etc.
