I am a board certified Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I completed both my undergraduate and graduate education at the University of Washington. My services include comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and psychotherapeutic interventions. I am specifically interested in the care of children, adolescents and young adults.
I have worked in the field of psychiatry for 14 years; I began my career as a nurse manager at Seattle Children’s Hospital on the Psychiatric & Behavioral Medicine Unit, where I practiced for 8 years. I later became a triage nurse at Seattle Children’s Autism Center while completing my graduate education. After completing my master’s degree, I transitioned into a Nurse Practitioner role at Seattle Children’s Autism Center where I specialized in the care of children and adolescents with autism, developmental disabilities and various mental health conditions.
My goal is to empower my clients to live their best lives.
My first objective in treatment is to listen to my client’s story and develop a trusting relationship with them. When working with children and adolescents, I believe it is vital to include the parent/caregiver in this process. While clarifying diagnosis is relevant, I believe it is most important to target and treat symptoms that are causing distress or suffering. I take a collaborative, patient centered approach to mutually determine goals of treatment. I provide counseling and education about medication options, lifestyle changes and therapy options to help my patients make informed decisions about their mental health care. I am committed to providing safe, empathetic, evidenced based care to each client I work with.
