I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who uses a holistic approach to care. While I believe psychotropic medication can be both curative and beneficial for symptom management, I encourage my patients to engage meaningfully in their own treatment through self-care and personal wellness activities. Our time together will include development of plans to incorporate such wellness activities, that will foster independence and a sense of empowerment, as physical health, nutrition, sleep hygiene and social supports are all essential to mental wellness. My focus of treatment is to enhance the adaptive, healing capability of each individual, and symptoms will be assessed using a biopsychosocial framework

Psychiatric medication regimens are kept as simple as possible, with consideration of clinical evidence, history, prior treatment, and medical conditions.
