Aloha, I am a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health and Women’s Nurse Practitioner with a decade of experience working within diverse clinical settings. I have partnered with individuals and families who are experiencing a myriad of mental and physical challenges, developing deep empathy for the human experience in all of its complexity.
I embrace diversity and am honored to help others find answers, healing and hope. Passionate about the mind-body connection, I believe in addressing the underlying causes of mental health issues and optimizing overall well-being. I take a personalized, patient-centered approach, working collaboratively with clients to develop individualized treatment plans. By integrating evidence-based practices with integrative approaches, I aim to restore balance and support the body’s natural healing processes.
While I work with individuals across the lifespan experiencing diverse mental health conditions, I have unique expertise in hormone-mediated mood disorders and perinatal and postpartum mental health issues. In addition to my expertise in women’s integrative mental health, I am particularly interested in trauma recovery, including those in the medical profession, law enforcement, military and first responders facing PTSD and burnout. Recognizing these individuals’ unique challenges and stressors, I provide a safe and understanding space to seek compassionate assistance.
About Me:
I’m always on the hunt for a wonderful coffee, the perfect chocolate or yummy organic salad. I firmly believe you cannot own too many plants and local markets are the BEST. I am a mom to six amazing humans, owner and spoiler of two comical bulldogs (a Frenchie named Bentley and an English named Boo). Whenever I get a chance, I love to roam and explore, always looking for a warm spot next to the ocean or a brilliant mountain trail. No matter what anyone says, shooting stars are magical, and you are never too old to make mud pies.
