As a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner with more than 26 years of healthcare experience, I provide personalized psychiatric care for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, insomnia, trauma and PTSD, mood disorders, postpartum mental health concerns, and life transitions. My approach combines thoughtful evaluation and medication management with practical, patient-centered care to help you feel better, function better, and move forward with confidence.

We’ll assess concerns such as mood, anxiety, sleep, concentration, and daily functioning. By the end of the visit, we’ll discuss my clinical impressions, treatment recommendations, and next steps, including medication options when appropriate, so you leave with a clear plan for care.

As a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner with more than 26 years of healthcare experience, I provide personalized psychiatric care for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, insomnia, trauma and PTSD, mood disorders, postpartum mental health concerns, and life transitions. My approach combines thoughtful evaluation and medication management with practical, patient-centered care to help you feel better, function better, and move forward with confidence.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I work best with adults seeking psychiatric evaluation and medication management for anxiety, depression, ADHD, insomnia, OCD, trauma and PTSD, mood disorders, postpartum mental health concerns, and related conditions. Many of my patients are experiencing changes in mood, sleep, concentration, energy, or daily functioning. I welcome patients who want to better understand their symptoms, discuss evidence-based treatment options, and take an active role in decisions about their psychiatric care.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My dual background in primary care and psychiatry allows me to approach mental health from a broader clinical perspective. I consider not only psychiatric symptoms, but also sleep, physical health, medications, chronic conditions, and life changes that may affect how you feel and function. I value thoughtful prescribing, clear communication, and helping you understand your treatment options so you can make informed decisions about your care.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider's self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan's benefits.
