Professional Background
I am a Arizona Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). Throughout my academic journey, I was fortunate to have exceptional mentors who shaped my approach to mental health care. My clinical rotations were completed alongside some of our most trusted referral sources, offering me a solid foundation to build my practice on.
With over five years of experience as a bedside nurse in various acute care settings, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to Raise Behavioral Health. I have been recognized for my excellence by both Banner Health and Dignity Health. At Banner Health, I received the World of Difference Award, and Dignity Health honored me with the Daisy Foundation Award on two occasions, recognizing my commitment to compassionate care.
My Approach to Care
At Raise Behavioral Health, my mission is to provide thorough, holistic psychiatric evaluations and treatments for a wide range of psychiatric disorders. My primary focus is on patients aged 6 to 30, but I am also dedicated to serving individuals across the lifespan, including parents and families. I believe in the importance of understanding familial patterns and genetic predispositions, as this knowledge is crucial in guiding our clinical decisions and medication management. Our goal is to Raise the standard of mental health care by improving communication and collaboration between providers and therapists, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes.
Personal Insights
Outside of my professional pursuits, I am passionate about maintaining a balanced lifestyle. I actively train and compete in cycling, triathlon, and ultramarathon trail events. This commitment to health helps me disconnect from the busyness of daily life and return to the office ready to be fully present and supportive for my patients. I believe in supporting everyone in finding their unique path to happiness and stability in their mental health. I strive to bring my best self to each appointment to help achieve this goal.
