Nurse Practitioner
My ideal client is one that I feel connected to. I appreciate my clients in all walks of life, whether they are brand new to the idea of receiving psychiatric and mental health care or they have seen 100 providers with no relief, but want to keep trying. I prefer a client who will teach men, stump me, move me, and keep me learning and are willing to work together as a team to get them into a better place. The only goal that I request is that they want to feel better and will do what it takes to feel better.
I have a background in areas such as trauma, primary care, and occupational health. During my time in each of these ventures, one thing was consistent, the absolute need for better mental health care services in our area. Psychiatric and mental health care has always been a passion of mine. It is a privilege to have the ability to help others during their darkest times. I aim to use the skills of listening, emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and empathy that I harbor in order to allow patients to feel seen and heard while improving their overall mental health.
I believe that everyone deserves the right to a kind and caring provider, no matter your background or history. I am a firm believe that our mental health greatly impacts our overall quality of life and that the emphasis placed on mental health care should be just as heavy as it is for physical health care.
