Board-certified PMHNP delivering evidence-based addiction psychiatry, MAT, and continuity across levels of care.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a strong foundation in critical care nursing and addiction medicine. I deliver psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment with a focus on medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and psychotherapy, while coordinating continuity of care across residential, PHP, and IOP settings. I also bring hands-on experience working with complex, critically ill patients, including chronic disease management and high-stakes interdisciplinary decision-making.
In my current role, I manage care across levels of care to support recovery and reduce relapse, coordinating interdisciplinary care to ensure patients receive consistent, recovery-aligned treatment. My background includes advanced cardiac and mechanical circulatory support exposure (including ECMO, Impella, and IABP) and experience in high-acuity environments, which strengthens my ability to manage complex clinical presentations. I’m currently completing AGPCNP post-master’s certification with a focus on adult primary care integration, and I’m looking to continue building integrated, patient-centered behavioral health and addiction services.
