My work sits at the intersection of clinical depth and sustainable practice. I am dual board-certified as a family and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, and across my career I have taught and mentored students, audited medical documentation, served as a behavioral health liaison, consulted on compliance for substance abuse treatment programs, and trained providers.
Somewhere in all of that, I built something many clinicians are told is not possible: a practice that is mine, on my terms, with several streams of work that create both professional impact and personal sustainability.
That perspective is personal. As a mother of two and a cancer survivor, I learned that a career has to honor the whole person, not just the patients in front of you. I am an advocate for nervous system regulation and for practice models that protect the clinician, not only the people they serve.
I partner with community organizations that provide wraparound services to foster care youth and trafficking survivors, and I am committed to culturally responsive, trauma-informed care and to creating pathways for providers to step into leadership and thrive there.
Expertise is meant to be leveraged, into impact, into leadership, and into a career that lasts.
