I have experience as a nurse and a nurse practitioner in a variety of inpatient and outpatient settings, including more than 15 years in mental health. I value getting to know my patients because each person has a unique story. My patients are treated with compassion, dignity and respect. I strive to create an environment where patients feel comfortable sharing any concerns. I am attentive to my patients’ treatment goals and encourage them become an active participant in their health care decisions."
