Drawing on my training as a psychiatric nurse practitioner and 9 years experience in medication management and behavioral intervention planning, I currently offer medication management. For optimal treatment results with medication management, I encourage simultaneous engagement in therapy (with an outside provider).

​

My goal is to provide a safe space and build a trusting partnership with clients. I strive to become attuned to each client's lived experience and personal goals, so as to understand them as an individual. To ensure that my services may be the right fit for your needs, I do offer 15-minute free initial phone consultations.
