Psychiatric Mental Health NP

I believe that meaningful mental health care starts with trust, compassion, and genuine connection. Over the past 15 years, I have worked across a variety of healthcare settings, including trauma nursing, emergency nursing, and nurse leadership roles, caring for individuals and families during some of life's most challenging moments. These experiences have reinforced my belief that every person deserves to be treated with dignity, empathy, and respect.

My commitment to mental health care is also shaped by personal experience. Like many people, I have witnessed the impact of mental health challenges in my own life and among loved ones, which has deepened my understanding of the courage it takes to seek help. I strive to create a welcoming, judgment-free space where clients feel comfortable discussing difficult thoughts, emotions, and life experiences.

I have been a Nurse Practitioner in an Emergency Department for over ten years. Due to the pandemic, our emergency room has been impacted by psychiatric patients, and I realized that there is a need for nurse practitioners like me to truly help others. Some patients wait hours or overnight in our emergency department to be evaluated. I want to bridge the gap and make a difference by providing care here in Headway.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

When two psychiatrists in my community retired, I took on their patients because there was simply no one else to fill the gap. Five years later, I still approach every visit with that same sense of responsibility. I practice in Santa Rosa, California, offering phone, video, and in-person appointments. I specialize in medication management for anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and I take a thorough approach to monitoring treatment safely, including routine use of standardized assessments to track how you are doing over time. My goal is to make psychiatric care feel less intimidating and more collaborative.
