PATIENT PORTAL

I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner dedicated to developing trusting, collaborative, and effective working relationships with my clients. I believe in utilizing a holistic approach to mental health which can include psychotherapy, lifestyle and environmental modifications, and medication when necessary. The primary services I offer include comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and diagnosis, medication management, as well as psychoeducation and brief therapeutic interventions. I rely heavily on the shared decision-making model of care, respecting each client’s unique experiences and values. I provide evidence-based practice recommendations and will work together with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs and comfort.

 

Prior to joining Spruce, I worked in community mental health as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner treating children, adolescents, and young adults in a variety of treatment programs. I have received additional training and supervision in working with children and adolescents and have worked in teams collaborating with families, schools, therapists, and primary care providers. In addition to my work in clinical practice, I am passionate about education and currently teach at the University of Washington School of Nursing. 

​

I look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your mental health journey.
