Providers

As a Board Certified – Adult Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I offer psychotherapy, TMS treatment (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) and medication management.

I believe that you are the expert of your life, so we will work together in a collaborative effort, to best serve your needs. As we work together, your needs may change and so my approach is flexible to best suit the different stages of recovery, wellness and thriving. I emphasize preventing new issues, relapses, and symptom reduction with the ultimate goal of achieving the highest level of wellness possible. My practice is based on a patient-centered, holistic approach towards wellness. I am always looking for the most effective, FDA approved innovative treatment options with minimal side effects. I am a co-director of Eastside TMS and Wellness Center and I am pleased that we can now offer TMS treatment to patients as a treatment option.

Education and Training:

• Masters in Nursing – Adult Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Degree: University of Washington
• Bachelors of Science in Nursing Degree: University of Washington
• Certified TMS specialist

My approach to Psychopharmacology (medications):

• I believe that medications can help achieve a state of body and mind that allows patients to better benefit from psychotherapy.
• I use conservative prescribing practices that are complimented and supported by psychotherapy.
• Like any other medication, psychopharmacology with proper management, monitoring and usage can help individuals achieve optimum health and better living.

I offer medication management, supportive talk therapy, and TMS treatment (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) as a Board-Certified, Adult Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). Each individual has lived a unique set of experiences that lead them to be the person they are today. My goal as a mental health provider is to help clients achieve stability and happiness while being the captain’s of their own ship. Client involvement in their treatment is important to me and I value the input they have as we embark on the journey to wellness together. I help clients recognize the how and why behind their conditions, ways to manage thoughts and feelings, and do this all with the philosophy that we are ever-evolving and set-backs happen! It is what we do in our toughest moments to get back to a life we love living that matter the most. I am patient-centered and holistic in my methods and up to date on the most recent evidence-based practices in the field of psychiatry.
