My passion is helping individuals gain clarity, regain control, and navigate life’s challenges through compassionate, individualized mental health care. I believe every client deserves a safe, non-judgmental space where their unique lived experience is deeply respected. My primary goal is to empower my clients to achieve long-term emotional stability and improved daily functioning by offering evidence-based psychiatric care that addresses the whole person, not just a set of symptoms.
I take a collaborative, relational, and evidence-based approach to treatment, viewing psychiatric medication as a supportive tool that works best when paired with psychoeducation, lifestyle strategies, and therapeutic alignment. With extensive experience across acute inpatient and outpatient clinical settings, my areas of clinical expertise include ADHD and executive functioning challenges, mood disorders (Depression, Bipolar spectrum), anxiety, PTSD/trauma, OCD, ASD, and psychotic spectrum disorders in adolescents (13+) and adults.
I am an ANCC Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) holding a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from the University of Minnesota. I maintain active dual advanced practice registered nurse licensures in both Washington and Oregon.
