I earned a master’s from the University of Alaska Anchorage as an Advanced Practice Nurse Practitioner, ANP, and am board certified as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC. I take a reflective approach in my 40 years of experience in health care, shaping her perspective in that all humans need to be seen, heard, affirmed and to feel safe when seeking wellness, psychiatric and medical health care. Claudia’s philosophical approach in her practice aligns with Socrates in that, “The unexamined life is not worth living.”
