I received a bachelor’s degree in nursing from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst in 1997 and a master’s degree in family psychiatric mental health nursing from the University of Missouri, Columbia in 2010. I have worked in every area and level of care in psychiatry for over 20 years. My practice is evidence-based built on the foundation of my education which focused on how to assess research in order to understand and effectively utilize it in practice. I work collaboratively and want to provide as much education so you are a partner in your child’s psychiatric care.

I am a dually boarded, both family and psychiatric, Nurse Practitioner with a Doctoral Degree in Nursing. I have worked as a Psychiatric Mental Health NP since 2016 and before that I worked in a family medical practice and urgent care as an FNP. I take only a limited number of patients to keep my focus centered on the individual patients that I work with and not the number of patients in my practice.
My philosophy to recovery involves goal setting, both long and short term, with the ultimate goal of recovery. Timelines for this outcome are very individual and varies from 6 months to 2 + years. The therapeutic relationship between the patient and provider is of paramount importance. The provider must have unconditional positive regard for the best patient outcome.
