I understand that seeking mental health care can be challenging and traumatizing. I hope to help alleviate some of the fear and reservations about seeking psychiatric care.
I use a patient-focused approach within my practice to help my clients feel empowered as they reach their goals. I believe in taking the time to get to know each client and their unique needs. I will work with you to build a collaborative plan of care. I focus treatment on current evidence-based approaches.
I believe that mental health should not be a one-size-fits-all approach and we will collaborate to find the best solution that works for you.
I also take a holistic approach to psychiatry and am a Board Certified Advanced Practice Holistic Nurse, to a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner.
I strive to be supportive and affirming:
Neurodiverse, LGBTQIA+, Transgender, HAES, Kink +, ENM+, Sex Positive.
