Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
Adolescent
Adolescents with untreated symptoms of anxiety, inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and subsequent mood and behavioral dysregulation can struggle academically, socially, and emotionally. A comprehensive diagnostic evaluation with a client-centered, family-driven, strength-based approach to treatment can help to facilitate resiliency and optimal functioning across their domains.
Young Adult
Young adulthood is an exciting time filled with major transitions as an individual plans and pursues their life goals. While these years are often greatly anticipated, the stressors of learning independence, managing college expectations and, oftentimes, leaving their closest support system can trigger significant symptoms of anxiety and depression. Sometimes long-standing symptoms of anxiety, depression, inattention, and mood instability can be more difficult to manage during these major transitions, impairing academic, social, occupational functioning and general feelings of well-being. Appropriate treatment can mitigate these symptoms and facilitate recovery and resiliency.
Telepsychiatry
We are pleased to offer our services via telepsychiatry video visits. Telepsychiatry provides convenience and access to treatment for those individuals for whom attending in-person visits may not be feasible. We currently offer telepsychiatry services to patients residing in VA.
Supplements
Supplements can be an important part of an integrated treatment plan and an effective component of a healthy lifestyle. We believe that supplements should be easily accessible and are pleased to offer supplements at a discounted rate through Fullscript.
We recommend that you consult your healthcare provider before adding any supplements to your, your family's, or your pet's healthcare routine.
Practice Philosophy
It is my tenet that we are spiritual, physical, intellectual, emotional beings created to be in meaningful relationships. Accordingly, I embrace a holistic, integrated, strengths-based, family-driven approach to promoting wellness. This translates into comprehensive diagnostic assessment identifying areas of challenge, but more importantly identifying areas of strength and inherent protective factors.
