I hold a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Capella University, earned in 2023, and a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) degree from Liberty University, completed in 2024. Additionally, I earned my Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) from the University of Seattle in 2011. I specialize in medication management and tailor my care strategies to align with the latest advancements in mental health treatment. My goal is to provide a collaborative and empathetic environment where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered on their journey to better mental health.
My Clients
I chose a career in mental health care because I have seen firsthand the profound impact that treatment can have—not just on individuals, but also on their families and communities. I am inspired by the opportunity to help clients overcome challenges, achieve their goals, and become the best version of themselves. My approach is holistic, incorporating both medication management and non-pharmacological strategies to provide comprehensive care tailored to each person’s unique needs.
