How do you work with clients with weight loss issues?
I work with clients on weight loss by first understanding their full health picture, lifestyle, medical history, stress levels, sleep, nutrition habits, activity level, and any barriers that may be making weight management difficult. My goal is not to offer a one-size-fits-all plan, but to create a realistic, evidence-based approach that fits your life and supports long-term health. Together, we focus on sustainable changes, education, and practical strategies that help you feel more confident and in control of your wellness journey. When appropriate, I may also discuss medical factors, lab work, medication options, or referrals that could support your progress. My approach is compassionate, personalized, and focused on helping you build healthier habits without shame or judgment.
As a Doctor of Nursing Practice and Family Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of experience, I have provided care across clinical settings ranging from emergency medicine to family practice. My background in rural critical access and telehealth has fueled my commitment to expanding high-quality healthcare for underserved communities and busy individuals. I hold multiple advanced degrees in nursing and education, and I am nationally board certified as both a Family Nurse Practitioner and a Certified Nurse Educator. In addition to my clinical work, I am passionate about graduate-level nursing education, believing that patient understanding is the cornerstone of long-term health. Now based in Alaska, I combine clinical expertise with a compassionate approach to ensure my patients receive evidence-based, personalized support. My goal is to bridge the gap in traditional care through timely, accessible consultations that prioritize your wellness journey.

In addition, I hold a PSYPACT license (APIT #15089), which is an interstate compact designed to facilitate the practice of telepsychology & telehealth across state boundaries, allowing me to work with individuals who reside in 42+ states across the United States. I offer telehealth services for individuals in the following states: AL, AZ, AR, CO, CT, DC, DE, FL, GA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, ME, MD, MI, MN, MO, NE, NV, NH, NJ, NC, OH, OK, PA, RI, SC, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA, WV, WI, WY. I see all patients exclusively via telehealth at this time.  I am dedicated to helping my patients develop a deeper understanding of themselves, their relationships, and their strengths and helping them understand and discover what drives their actions and behaviors. I take pride in providing high-quality, compassionate, empirically-based care rooted in my extensive doctoral education and extensive ongoing professional development.  Services Offered My experience has equipped me to provide an array of mental health services tailored to meet each individual’s unique needs. These services include individual therapy, couples therapy, psychological assessments—specializing in ADHD—vocational and career assessments, as well as sports psychology and performance enhancement for high-performers, including C-Suite executives, athletes, artists, and medical professionals.   Individual Therapy: I work with adults and adolescents experiencing various challenges, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, phobias, eating disorders, body image issues, internet and social media addictions, relationship and interpersonal difficulties, obsessions, compulsions, perfectionism, burnout, insomnia, and other psychological presentations within the human experience. I also support individuals navigating life transitions, communication challenges, attachment difficulties, relational concerns, and complex family dynamics. Services are rooted in evidence-based approaches and treatment is infused with compassion and care. Couples Therapy: As a therapist trained in Gottman Method Couples Therapy Levels 1 and 2, I offer couples therapy grounded in the most comprehensive, evidence-based approach available today. Psychological Assessments: I provide a wide range of psychological testing and assessments, including comprehensive ADHD/ADD evaluations, documentation for LSAT/MCAT/GRE/SAT accommodations, diagnosis clarification, ESA letters, giftedness/IQ testing, assessments for academic concerns, and career/vocational evaluations. Please note that my practice does not prescribe psychotropic medications. However, I collaborate closely with psychiatrists and can provide referrals if needed.  My Theoretical Orientation I provide high-quality mental health services that are both scientifically grounded and deeply compassionate, fostering a friendly, accepting, and inclusive environment for all patients. My extensive training spans various therapeutic approaches, including psychodynamic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy, as well as cognitive-behavioral treatments like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based CBT (MB-CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), and manualized treatments for insomnia, phobias, and PTSD. I also enjoy incorporating Positive Psychology, Interpersonal/Relational Therapy, Existential-Humanistic Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to support meaningful change. I approach mental health from a holistic perspective, recognizing the interconnectedness of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual facets. I am committed to providing a compassionate listening space where you are invited to reflect and explore yourself, understanding your deepest challenges and strengths. Through patient listening, reflecting, shared inquiry, and various evidence based interventions, I strive to help you become more aware of your patterns and thoughts, fostering greater self-understanding and clarity. My goal is to support you in making meaningful and skillful choices that align with your true self.  My Therapeutic Style My approach to mental health, in general, is characterized by an accepting and caring environment that is collaborative in nature. I am authentic, down-to-earth, intentional, and spontaneous in session, which lends itself to a truly collaborative and growth-promoting experience. Therapy with me is a collaborative, action-oriented process providing you the opportunity to foster new perspectives, discover your inherent worth, tap into your inner resources, and develop your capacity for resilience and new skills. I enjoy working from a holistic yet evidence-based approach.  I show up authentically for each patient, and I value transparency and provide my full presence. Patients who work with me can expect to explore feelings, beliefs, and behaviors, understand memories, process destructive relationships, and identify dysfunction, which will lead to a better understanding of themselves and others. During therapy, there is an ongoing effort to develop effective coping skills, decrease emotional distress, improve functioning, and resolve symptoms and problems. Each therapy session is a balance of meeting your present needs and long-term goals. Collaboratively, we will deepen your understanding of yourself your reactions to various emotions and, increase your psychological flexibility and create new perspectives.  My Wishes for You I wish you a life full of love, happiness, fulfillment and health. I am committed to helping you build and find it! It is my greatest honor to accompany my patients on their journey toward deeper self-awareness, growth, the emergence from suffering while becoming a meaningful part of my patient’s lives.

My weight loss journey started as a young girl with my mom attending weekly Weight Watchers meetings. Since that time, I have done Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem, Hilton Head Metabolism Diet, Slimfast, Cabbage Soup diet, starved myself, and on and on.

The struggle is real for me too. With years of experience in both in-person and telehealth settings, I've worked with various clinics and healthcare providers to support adults and seniors in their health journeys. At Weekend Health and Achieve Medical Weight Loss Clinic, I focus on providing personalized weight loss plans, prescribing necessary medications, and closely monitoring patients' progress to ensure they meet their goals. I've also had the privilege of teaching the next generation of nurses as a Clinical Adjunct Professor at Austin Peay State University. Guiding students through clinical rotations and sharing my expertise in mental health care has been incredibly rewarding.
