As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, my role is multifaceted. I am a mental health advocate, educator, and clinician.

I like to focus on identifying your strengths and help you to maximize them to overcome your obstacles.

As an older woman who has been affected by much of what life has to offer, I can empathize with many areas of trauma and joy and learning how to heal from and celebrate those events.

As a woman ahead of her time, having been a divorced single parent with no full-time job or college education and then later in life having lived in a four-generational house, I understand being a caretaker for an elderly parent, I understand the dynamics of balancing life, personally and professionally throughout the lifespan with many planned and unplanned life transitions.

Understanding each individiual's unique issues is something I strive for.

As a person who has made many life transitions, my passion is assisting clients to process their experiences and identify methods to best ensure their transitions are smooth and beneficial as possible.

I have a wide range of experience to help me understand the individual needs a person may have.

My field of study and work experiences have given me a wide range of knowledge that I have been able to apply to the clients that I see.

As a new mother, I understand and sympathize with parents and the struggles of successful parenting and familial relationships.

As a woman who is married, has kids, and has been working in mental health for a few years, I understand the impact of stress, depression, and trauma and the affect they have on everyday life.

As a person, I understand what kind of challenges life can throw at you. My hope is that we can work through some of them together to help you find a peaceful, happy, and fulfilling life.
