I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (ANCC) that has enriched my practice with a broad range of culturally diverse experiences gained from years of patient care in critical care, dialysis, and mental health inpatient care. I achieved my Masters of Nursing from the East Tennessee State University after a long career as a Registered Nurse. By trade, I’m a nurse with a graduate education that allows me to prescribe medication with integrated therapy in collaboration with a psychiatrist. My approach transcends medication management, as I advocate for a comprehensive, holistic strategy that addresses lifestyle factors—such as sleep patterns, dietary habits, physical activity—as well as personal challenges that influence mental health. I am dedicated to guiding individuals on their journey toward wellness and self-improvement. I employ a collaborative, compassionate, and trauma-informed approach in my practice, emphasizing the significance of mental health resources in preempting future complications.
