Provider

---

As a young child, my favorite thing to do was act like I was a doctor; I knew early on in life my purpose was to help heal and care for others. After becoming a registered nurse at the early age of 19, I spent several years honing my bedside manner and earning a higher level of education. Six to seven years into my nursing career, I decided to specialize in mental health by earning my master’s. I am now a board-certified mental health nurse practitioner breaking the stigma and healing minds every day, and I wouldn't have it any other way. 

 I am most excited about telemedicine and how it has helped change the lives of so many. It provides a way for most to access care without fear of losing their jobs or having to deal with the obstacles of transportation or childcare. Because receiving care has become so convenient, mental wellness is finally on the rise. “I strongly believe progress is determined by the client’s perception.”

 Initial assessments range from 60-90 minutes and the follow-up appointments range from 15-45 minutes in length (depending on the client's needs). All new client paperwork will be given to you prior to the appointment to make the day of the appointment a breeze. I spend time getting to know the client by learning their hobbies, their method preferences, and their dislikes to help tailor care. I also spend time assessing physical symptoms and ruling out medical causes to ensure optimal results. I strongly believe progress is determined by the client’s perception. Treatment plans are created with the provider rather than dictated to the client. Our success is based on client outcomes.
