As a long-term resident of Colorado, I recognize the significance of mental health and the difficulties associated with accessing quality mental health care. This understanding motivated me to become a dual board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and family nurse practitioner, equipped with prescriptive authority in Colorado. I earned my advanced degree from Regis University in Denver and possess over 16 years of diverse experience in the healthcare field, encompassing pediatrics, communicable disease management, integrated family practice, and outpatient psychiatry. My enthusiasm for contemporary research and treatment modalities in psychiatry is evident, particularly in the areas of pharmacological and non-pharmacological management of psychiatric conditions. I have a specific interest in ADHD, mood disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. I foster a stigma-free and judgment-free environment, collaborating with other mental health and medical professionals as necessary. My commitment to providing exceptional patient-centered care and promoting sustainable well-being is central to my approach to psychiatric treatment. I am equipped to assist with the evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, and medication management of various psychiatric disorders, including depression, mood disorders, ADHD, PTSD, anxiety, and numerous other mental health issues. Additionally, I offer solutions-focused brief therapy (SFBT). In my leisure time, I enjoy spending quality moments with my family, embarking on long road trips, playing the guitar, and engaging in board games with friends.
