Welcome to Your Path Toward Better Mental Health! I am a compassionate, board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing holistic mental health care for individuals aged 6 and older. My focus is on creating a supportive, collaborative space where your mental health and well-being are the priority. With a blend of evidence-based treatments and a person-centered approach, I empower clients to actively participate in their care. I specialize in treating conditions like ADHD, anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns, offering personalized care plans that may include medication, therapy, and alternative treatments. My goal is to provide care that truly aligns with your needs and helps you achieve lasting mental wellness. With over 24 years of nursing experience across various healthcare settings, I bring a compassionate, holistic approach to mental health care. My background allows me to focus on your unique needs and goals, providing personalized, evidence-based treatment to support your well-being. I am pleased to accept most major insurance plans, including First Choice health, Premera and Regence blue cross blue shield, Optum/United Healthcare, Aetna, and Cigna. I will be able to accept new clients after May 15, 2025 who have Coordinated Care Medicaid. I am in the final stages of becoming an in-network provider with Molina Medicaid. I am currently welcoming new clients for both in-person and telehealth appointments, including some weekend availability for added flexibility. Most clients can be seen within 3 weeks. Please request an appointment and I will reach out to you to get you scheduled. I look forward to working with you and supporting your journey toward better mental wellness! *ABOUT ME* I am local Gig Harbor native. I am a proud military spouse with a passion for family, nature, and connection. As a mother, I find immense joy in nurturing my kiddos and embracing the beauty of everyday moments. I have a deep appreciation for the great outdoors, whether I’m tending to my garden, exploring local trails, or savoring the serene summers of the Pacific Northwest. At home, I enjoy spending time with my family and two cherished dogs—a spirited Siberian Husky and a lovable Yellow Lab—and curling up with a good book. You might also find me enjoying a good movie or sipping coffee from one of the delightful local coffee shops out on the Key Peninsula. I strive to bring warmth, humor, and authenticity to everything I do, creating a space where everyone feels welcome and valued. Life has taught me the importance of kindness and humility, and I carry those lessons into my professional practice and daily life.
