What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role that uses my clinical depth and communication strength—direct care, clinical education, care coordination, or related mental health work—grounded in assessment, treatment planning, psychoeducation, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 10+ years across inpatient, outpatient, and community behavioral health settings. I focus on psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning, pairing careful monitoring with clear patient and family education.

I’m known for building rapport quickly and translating complex clinical information for diverse audiences. I collaborate closely with families, therapists, and interdisciplinary teams to coordinate care and adapt my approach across different care settings and patient populations.

Beyond direct care, I value clinical mentorship and education, including student mentorship and support, plus psychopharmacology and behavioral assessment education. I bring strong clinical documentation habits and crisis-informed de-escalation to help patients stabilize and move forward.
