I became a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner because I was treating a lot of mental illness in the patients I was treating as an Adult/ Geriatric nurse practitioner. So, I went back to school to also be a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner across the life span.

I work with clients who are open and honest. It's difficult for me to help you if you are not open and honest.

I am most excited to work with anyone who is willing to work hard to improve themselves.

Mental health illness hits very close to home for me and I try my best to provide the care that I want my family to receive.

My clients inspire me all the time! They work hard to get better and even through times of symptom relapse, attending appointments, taking medications, engaging in therapy shows commitment. I'm in awe of the resilience I witness. My children inspire me. They make me want to be the person they see me as.

I will ask a lot of questions to get to know you and understand you better. However, you are able to say that you'd prefer not to answer something and we can come back to it at a later date. The more I know about you, the more information I have to help you and facilitate your treatment.

I am open and honest. I believe that I am here to help you but I cannot do the work for you. I believe your goals of care should be designed by both, you and the provider, not just me because this is not about me at all. The focus is on you.

I like to spend time with my family and friends. We enjoy camping and spending time with our 3 dogs. I am also an avid reader so you will often find me curled up with a book.

My word. I give you my word that I will do the best I can to help everyone who seeks treatment.
