How do you work with clients with trauma and PTSD?
I provide a safe, compassionate, and collaborative space where healing can happen at your own pace. Trauma treatment begins with building trust, developing coping skills, and creating a sense of safety before processing difficult experiences. Using evidence-based approaches tailored to your needs, I help you reduce the impact of traumatic memories, manage overwhelming emotions, and reconnect with your strengths so you can move beyond survival and toward a more fulfilling, meaningful life.
Being heard and understood is important. It’s difficult to trust your counselor or make progress if that's absent. All therapists have skills and knowledge, but who do you trust? I offer a free phone consult so you can gain a sense of who I am before committing to therapy. This is important work, which means you get to choose the best fit for you. Having worked as a therapist for almost 20 years now, I consistently receive feedback that I have a warm, calming presence. Therapy can be heavy; creativity, fun, and play are also important to healing. My style is compassionate & collaborative. I've worked extensively with busy professionals, especially in the medical and mental health fields. What makes you unique is that you are invested in self-improvement, balance, and connection. You are not here by mistake. We sometimes know what to do but need help taking steps and creating the safety to remove barriers. Then you have freedom to take charge of your life-go from surviving to thriving!

How do you work with clients with trauma and PTSD?
When working with clients who have experienced trauma and PTSD, I create a safe environment and provide education on symptoms and coping strategies. I use evidence-based therapies like CPT or EMDR, teach coping skills, and may collaborate on medication management. I offer supportive counseling, gradual exposure to triggers, and consider holistic well-being in the treatment plan. Collaboration and advocacy are prioritized to empower clients in their healing journey.
I have been a medical professional for 14 years. I am a Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner in six states, including Arizona, Michigan, Kansas, Florida, Nevada, and California. I have worked in a variety of settings including hospital medicine, primary care, chronic care management, acute rehabilitation, telemedicine, mental health, pain management, home health, MAT therapy, hospice, university teaching, and medical aesthetics. I am a graduate of Oakland University, Grand Canyon University, and Mayo Clinic School of Health Sciences. I am a member of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners and hold ACNPC-AG certification from the American Association of Critical Care Nurses and ACLS/BLS certifications from the American Heart Association. I enjoy helping my clients restore their mental and physical health and teaching them how to best use the tools they have to handle difficulties and illnesses. I am committed to providing quality, compassionate, and comprehensive medical and mental health services to my patients. I believe medicine should be more about maintaining health rather than trying to cure disease, and ensuring mental health is always considered as it is vital to living a happy and healthy life.

I enjoy travel, especially the beach, time with my children and grandchildren, and cooking during my downtime.

Online Therapy
I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner providing holistic psychiatric care using an integrative approach that is guided by compassion and empathy. My professional career has been dedicated to helping others. I have always had an interest in the brain and human behavior, earning degrees within psychology, special education, nursing, and psychiatric/mental health. With a diverse background spanning over two decades in public education and healthcare settings, I bring a unique blend of expertise to my practice. Before working in healthcare, I worked with adolescents in the public education setting for nearly two decades where I conduced psycho-educational evaluations for children with emotional and learning differences, created individualized education plans, and served as a fierce advocate for students with special needs. Motivated to expand my scope and deepen my impact, I pursued a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Texas at Arlington, followed by a Master of Science in Nursing degree with a focus on psychiatric and mental health from Wilkes University. During my 2-year residency as an inpatient psychiatric nurse for adolescents and adults, I honed my clinical skills and developed a deep understanding of the complexities of mental health disorders. I bring an easy-going demeanor and open-minded approach to my practice, ensuring every client feels comfortable and supported on their path to wellness. I look forward to connecting with you! Please note that I do not prescribe controlled substances to my telehealth clients.
