With over 30 years of experience in the healthcare field, I have witnessed the industry's ever-evolving landscape. I have worked in various healthcare settings, including hospitals, long-term care facilities, and clinics in Alaska, Idaho, and Arkansas. My career began as a certified nursing assistant, evolved to psychiatric nursing, and finally landed as a psychiatric nurse practitioner.

As a practitioner, I think the collaboration between provider and patient makes a treatment plan effective. It’s my job to present you with recommendations, which often include medication, but ultimately the decision is yours. I have expertise in depression, anxiety, PTSD, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and substance use disorder. So if you’re looking for a partner invested in your mental health, try Balanced Behavioral Health.

I can be changed by what happens to me, but I refuse to be reduced by it.
