Overview
As a dual-licensed Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), Certified Correctional Healthcare Provider, and expert in Integrative Psychiatry, I specialize in delivering holistic, patient-centered care for diverse, underserved populations. My comprehensive background spans geriatric psychiatry consulting on neuropsychiatric symptoms of neurodegenerative conditions, working with Medicare/Medicaid telehealth pilot programs for elders and individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities, and providing trauma-informed care to those experiencing caregiver burnout, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and trauma.
I bring a deep understanding of the mental and physical complexities of patients, having worked in inpatient psychiatric nursing, internal medicine, and correctional healthcare. My passion lies in supporting vulnerable populations through evidence-based, integrative approaches that address both the mind and body, especially for those affected by adverse childhood experiences and stress-related disorders.
I am committed to advancing healthcare access, improving mental health outcomes, and delivering compassionate care through telehealth solutions, with a focus on marginalized individuals, including caregivers of and seniors with neurodegenerative diseases, individuals with neurodevelopmental disabilities (including ASD, ADHD, and AuADHD), and those with a history of substance abuse and/or incarceration. My unique blend of clinic.
