As a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner with over 20 years of healthcare experience and full prescriptive authority, my practice focuses on integrative psychiatry. This approach allows me to understand you as a whole person. While medication may be a component of your treatment plan, my primary goal is to identify the underlying causes of your condition. This allows us to move beyond simply managing symptoms with psychiatric medications and work towards achieving meaningful and lasting changes in your life. Our approach often involves focusing on areas such as nutrition, stress management, sleep and rest, work-life balance, movement, spirituality, relationships and community, personal development, mind-body connection, and creating a healthy environment. These strategies are aimed at reducing the need for multiple medications.
