I am a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and have experience providing psychiatric care across the lifespan. I work collaboratively with patients to determine goals for treatment and interventions that are based on individual needs. I approach patient care from a whole-person perspective and recognize how lifestyle, environment, systems, and situational factors influence individual states of well-being. I provide supportive psychotherapy and include elements of mindfulness and various modalities including psychodynamic, somatic and cognitive behavioral therapy. I enjoy working with a diverse patient population and providing care from an inclusive framework that honors cultures and traditions that are valued by patients. I have provided medication management for individuals PTSD and other trauma-related disorders, depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar and related disorders, OCD, ADHD, schizophrenia spectrum disorders and substance use disorders. I began working in mental health in 2010 as an intern and subsequently as a Mental Health Technician. Upon completion of my Associates Degree in Nursing from Glendale Community College in 2011, I worked as a Psychiatric Registered Nurse while simultaneously working on my Bachelors in the Science of Nursing at Sacred Heart University. Upon completion of my BSN in 2013, I attended a Doctor of Nursing Practice program at University of Minnesota. While working on my DNP, I gained additional professional experience in psychiatric nursing, detox and as a nursing educator. Since graduation from University of Minnesota with my DNP, I have been working in private practice. I enjoy the arts and spending time in nature.
