I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 24 years of experience in mental health and 20 years of working in mental health in a correctional setting. My passion for promoting mental health, and decreasing the stigma, as well as my extensive background in treating the whole person, has played a role in my ability to achieve greater mental health outcomes. In addition to medication management, physical health, and nutrition, my primary treatment goals are aimed at healing individuals to allow them to reach their greatest level of functioning.
