At Portland Psychiatric Health I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and brief supportive therapy for adults.  I specialize in mood and anxiety disorders.  

I have been a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner since 2009 after graduating from Oregon Health & Science University, and have been practicing at Portland area hospital systems since that time.  My psychiatric specialities include Consultation and Liaison Psychiatry and Emergency Psychiatry.  In 2015, I completed post-graduate training at Washington State University and became board-certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner.  My work in this area has included special interests in Sexual Health, HIV-related care, and Internal Medicine.  In 2018 I completed a doctoral program at Washington State University and was awarded a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree.

I value creating therapeutic relationships in which patients feel acknowledged and supported on their journey.  I see patients from a strengths-based perspective and use medications as one tool with which we can alleviate symptoms and promote wellness.  As informed by my training as both a Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I prioritize a holistic approach and provide safe, skilled care.  I look forward to partnering with you on your journey to restore happiness and health.   

I see patients at least monthly during periods of medication changes and every three to four months during periods without significant changes.  Patients can always opt to be seen more frequently.
