I specialize in children (5+), adolescent, young adult + perinatal psychiatry! I am a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, specializing in evaluations and medication management for kiddos and young adults with complex trauma, mood disorders, anxiety and ADHD. After a thorough evaluation, we can help you find the right medication for you or your child - ideally with the least amount of risk and side effects. We can also touch base on appropriate supplements and lifestyle modifications to make sure you are on the path to wellness. Those pregnant/postpartum - I can help you decide on safe medication options!
Connection with your provider is so important. We are currently only doing telepsychiatry. I'm upbeat, open & quirky so usually kids, teens and young adults connect pretty well with me! I definitely want to meet your dog/cat/pet, and I'll probably want to talk to them to tell them how cute they are. I'm not kidding.. I am also extremely passionate about human rights, LGBTQ+ rights, promoting antiracism and health equity.
Psychiatric care can be overwhelming and scary. I've been there too. I'm here to make you comfortable and to work with you, your family, doctors, school, or therapists. You deserve a provider who genuinely hears you. Check out my website for info (along with my values + thoughts) so we can get you scheduled!
We do not currently offer therapy services at Paperflower, but have many therapists we are able to refer you to. We also do not prescribe benzo's but do offer treatment for ADHD :)
