I am a provider at our Wheeling clinic who provides psychiatry services in-person and via telehealth. As a Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner early in my career in retail health, I saw mild mental illness but was unable to treat. I moved to Family Practice where I could assess, diagnose, and treat mental disorders. Once in urgent care, I realized how much untreated mental illness existed in our community. I want to change this with evidenced based guidelines, therapeutic skills, medication therapy, and therapy.

I believe in a patient-centered office setting in that each person has their own unique experiences and perspectives to discuss. I will respect your time, give my full attention, show compassion and understanding, remain open minded all while I conduct your assessments, initiate treatment plans, and adjust these plans based on your response. Thus, we can build trust and create a more positive and supportive environment for us both.
