I received my training as a Doctor of Nursing Practice in Psychiatric Mental Health from Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, and I am board-certified and licensed as an ARNP in Washington.

I have a Master of Applied Science in Humanitarian Health from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, where I focused on mental health disparities in low-resource populations.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a focus on pediatrics. I have worked for 35 years in medical healthcare settings, psychiatric inpatient and residential care, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs, substance use disorder programs, and outpatient psychiatric care.

I provide outpatient telepsychiatry services in Washington State. This lets me provide you with stable, long-term treatment rather than getting a new provider if you or your provider leaves the area. You must be located in Washington state for me to see you.

My mission is to remove barriers to mental health care by providing compassionate, personalized, and accessible treatment. I particularly enjoy working with family systems as parents navigate challenging situations.

I see ages 7 and up; however, it is important to consider if a virtual visit is best for your situation. Young children and individuals with very severe symptoms may benefit from a provider that has an in-person option.

I understand how difficult it is when you or someone you love has chronic emotional dysregulation. Often, this is accompanied by non-suicidal self-injury and suicidal ideation, and it affects everyone in the loved one's circle. I work with families to help them learn validation skills, broaden their understanding, and manage their own distress, which can improve the relationship with your loved one.

Learning to strengthen our innate awareness, compassion, and wisdom has a powerful impact on our brain plasticity and, ultimately, our well-being and the well-being of those around us. I am training to become an Anywhere Anytime Meditation Instructor with the Tergar Meditation Community of Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche to offer this valuable resource.
