About Me
In the nearly 20 years I have worked in healthcare, I have enjoyed providing care across various settings. I attained my master’s degree from the University of Missouri at Kansas City and am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.
As a labor and delivery nurse, I listened to patients’ fears and supported women and families during times of great joy and, at times, great sadness. On a busy trauma unit, I saw physical wounds that could be healed and minds not able to let go of the pain. In a district cancer center, my appreciation for the power of the mind-body connection grew. Through my work with those experiencing homelessness, I forged connections with people who had lost all connection. No matter the setting, I have always been passionate about providing care to support the whole person.

As a guide in your journey to mental health recovery, I provide a safe space for you to share your experience. I appreciate that good outcomes come from good relationships between clinician and patient. This unique bond is built on trust, empathy, and open communication, and can serve as a beacon of hope in the often challenging landscape of mental health. The trust established forms the basis for accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plans, ensuring that you receive the care that aligns with your specific needs. A strong therapeutic alliance fosters empowerment, resilience, and transformation, enabling individuals to reclaim their lives and thrive.
