PSYCHIATRIC NURSE PRACTITIONER

She/Her/Hers


As both a psychiatric nurse practitioner and a former pharmacist, I approach patient care from a unique perspective. I believe that balancing open communication with an in-depth understanding of the appropriate medications creates the opportunity to restore mind-body balance and foster holistic healing. 

Together, we’ll work within an anti-oppressive framework to offer a safe, inclusive, and empowering space that inspires self-compassion and lasting results. This approach is evidence-based and intersectional—informed by the multiple identities and sociocultural contexts that shape each human’s lived experience. 

I received my master’s degree in nursing from Vanderbilt University before completing a Doctor of Pharmacy degree with a minor in psychology from Purdue University. My experience in inpatient and outpatient settings as both a pharmacist and a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner allows me to strategically blend elements of both approaches. 

While I’ve worked with patients at all stages of life, I feel most engaged and helpful when working with students and young adults to develop strategies and tools that will serve them throughout their lives.

In my own home, you’ll likely find me curled up with a good book nestled between my cats Remi and Rowan. (Oh, and Rory!) I enjoy yoga, tennis, trying new restaurants, and exploring the world around me with my partner and my camera. 

“I’m able to strategically blend elements of both psychopharmacology and psychotherapy in treatment.”
