What's My Approach to Therapy?
My journey into mental health care began while working as a registered nurse in intensive care and behavioral health settings. I saw firsthand how deeply mental wellness impacts every aspect of physical health and recovery and I wanted to be part of that healing process. That experience inspired me to become a psychiatric nurse practitioner, where I could provide compassionate, evidence-based care that helps patients find stability, connection, and purpose in their lives.
I enjoy working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma, and relationship issues. Many of my patients are navigating life transitions, stress, or burnout, and I find great meaning in helping them strengthen communication, improve emotional regulation, and rebuild healthy relationships. My approach as a clinician is warm, collaborative, and practical. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where patients feel heard, supported, and empowered to take an active role in their care.
My Practice & Services
I believe in a holistic and integrative approach to psychiatry. My care combines evidence-based medication management with therapy techniques such as CBT, DBT, and supportive psychotherapy. I also integrate lifestyle and wellness strategies that emphasize sleep, nutrition, mindfulness, and stress reduction because mental health is best supported when the whole person is cared for.
I view treatment as a partnership. Together, we’ll set goals, monitor progress, and make thoughtful adjustments as needed. My goal is to help each patient develop lasting coping skills, build resilience, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
I received my training as a psychiatric nurse practitioner from Regis College and am board-certified by the ANCC. Over the past five years, I’ve provided psychiatric care in both inpatient and outpatient settings, and now focus exclusively on telepsychiatry, offering convenient and secure virtual care for patients in Arizona, Washington, and Oregon.
Through telepsychiatry, I am dedicated to providing accessible, high-quality mental health care that meets patients where they are with empathy, expertise, and genuine care.
When you choose to work with me, you can expect a warm and empathetic environment where you are heard and valued. If you're ready to explore a holistic path toward improved well-being, I invite you to reach out. Let’s embark on this transformative journey together!
