I like to think of a healthy mind as one’s source of life. It is the foundation to which everything else can be accomplished. Think about it. When our mental health is struggling and we are not operating at our fullest potential, while not impossible, it is certainly a challenge to focus on other areas in our life. This can manifest itself in difficulties tending to our physical health. Or the inability to show up as our best self at school and work. Or possibly resulting in strained interpersonal relationships. But when we seek assistance for our mental health needs, be it psychotherapy, medication management, or a combination of both, we can get to a place of living and flourishing, not just existing. As a dual‑licensed nurse practitioner in both family medicine and psychiatric‑mental health, I focus on treating people, not symptoms, with a personalized and integrative approach. My treatment recommendations may include medication, psychotherapy, medical/diagnostic lab work, nutrition, exercise, or other wellness focused approaches to best address your presenting symptoms, lifestyle, history, and preferences. It is my hope that you leave every visit feeling well‑informed and confident that your mental health and overall wellness is moving in the right direction.
