Psychiatric evaluations with me typically last 60 to 90 minutes, providing ample time to understand your unique experiences and symptoms. While I do provide a diagnosis, my primary focus is on understanding how your symptoms are affecting your daily life and well-being. Together, we will explore the challenges you’re facing and develop a tailored treatment plan that addresses your individual needs and supports your path to healing.

In my medication management services, I take a holistic and personalized approach, working with individuals to ensure their treatment is tailored to their unique needs. I collaborate with patients and families to find the right medications, monitor progress, and make adjustments as necessary to support mental health and well-being. Along with medication, I encourage the integration of therapy, lifestyle changes, adjustments at home, and dietary improvements to create a well-rounded treatment plan.

In my therapy services, I offer a variety of evidence-based approaches. My therapeutic skillset encompasses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), inner child work, and attachment-focused therapy. Whether working with children, adolescents, young adults, or families, my goal is to provide a safe and supportive space for healing and growth. For families, I focus on parenting coaching and fostering a nurturing environment both in and outside of the office to help children thrive. Together, we’ll work on developing coping skills, emotional resilience, and positive family dynamics that support long-term well-being.
Care for Mind & Mood Care for Mind & Mood
Care for Mind & Mood Care for Mind & Mood
As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I help children, teenagers, young adults, and families with various mental health issues. This includes mood disorders like anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder, as well as behavior problems such as anger management and social skills issues. I also work with individuals facing ADHD, OCD, oppositional defiant disorder, and mood dysregulation. If you don’t see your concern listed, don’t worry- these are just a few examples.
I specialize in helping those affected by trauma and stress, especially those who have experienced abuse, loss, or family separation. My care extends to those with developmental challenges like autism, learning disabilities, and speech issues. I know how deeply these conditions can affect everyday life and strive to provide personalized support for each individual.
In addition to individual therapy, I offer family and parenting support, including coaching to help parents manage complex family situations. I aim to strengthen parent-child relationships and provide strategies for handling behavioral issues at home. I also assist patients with academic and social obstacles, such as school refusal and test anxiety. I focus on both a person’s mental well-being and their surroundings to encourage constructive transformation.
More About Me
I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with extensive experience in child and adolescent care. I spent my nursing career overseeing the inpatient psychiatric unit at Children’s Hospital Colorado, managing acute cases and developing skills in trauma-informed care, de-escalation, and behavioral strategies. During my PMHNP training, I worked with a community mental health program, assisting individuals with complex challenges and gaining insight into our healthcare system's struggles. Now, I take an integrative approach focused on each individual's unique experiences, collaborating with patients and families to evaluate the best treatment options. My goal is to provide compassionate, individualized care to help each person reach their full potential.
Outside of work, I keep my life balanced by staying active and enjoying time with my two rescue pups, who always keep me on my toes. I’m a bit of a bookworm and find joy in cooking at home. Volunteering is another passion of mine, and my husband and I make it a priority to visit a Children’s Home in Idaho every year, where we offer support and connect with the kids and staff. It’s a cause that has a special place in my heart.
