Who I Am
Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Practice
I am an ANCC Board Certified PMHNP, able to offer effective outpatient, individualized care using psychotherapy, medication management or a combination of both. I treat varied mental health disorders.
My Treatment Focus
Psychotherapy is a collaborative process where I help individuals heal from emotional pain, become aware of inner strengths, develop new coping strategies and reach their goals. I provide a nonjudgmental, safe space, listening to your concerns.
Types of Therapy
In addition to prescribing I am able to offer a range of therapies such as mindfulness based therapies, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive therapy, supportive therapy, and equine assisted psychotherapy (EAP) (see www.KnowningHorse.com).
Therapy and/or Medication
Depression & Anxiety
Depression, fear, anxiety and frustration are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through counseling and treatment, I am able to help you understand and regulate those emotions and gain perspective, insight and joy in your life.
Trauma & Loss
Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful loss and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, guilt and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger after difficult events. I am able to help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing.
Life transitions
Change can be challenging. Individuals may feel stuck, at a crossroads unsure of which way to go. Effective therapy or counseling can help with the process of change. There are many therapies that help with change.
