About

I hold a Master of Science in Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing, which I earned from the University of St. Francis in Joliet, IL in 2017. Driven by a passion for advancing my knowledge and serving my community, I pursued higher education and completed my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) at Briar Cliff University in May 2023.
Since 2018, I have been practicing as a psychiatric nurse practitioner in Iowa and Washington State, providing compassionate, evidence-based care to individuals across diverse backgrounds. I truly love what I do-helping patients navigate their mental health journey, supporting wellness, and expanding access to quality care.

I am dedicated to creating a supportive environment that nurtures every client’s innate potential for optimal health and wellbeing. I believe that the most effective treatment is based upon an understanding and appreciation of you and your life- including your history, values, emotional framework, interpersonal dynamics, life stressors, environment, and physical health. With this knowledge, I aim to partner with you to establish a treatment plan that holistically addresses your needs and goals, both for short-term symptom management and for long-term change.
