About Me
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a Doctorate in Nursing Practice from the University of Washington and a certificate in Perinatal Mental Health working with individuals during the perinatal period.
Prior to beginning my private clinic, I worked as a PMHNP in a community-based clinic serving individuals from diverse backgrounds with a range of mental health concerns. Outside of working with clients, I served as the Lead PMNHP, helping provide supervision to novice nurse practitioners and guiding student rotations. In addition to my clinical work, I am an Assistant Teaching Professor at the University of Washington—School of Nursing where I teach graduate PMHNP students and undergraduate nursing students.
Prior to completing my doctorate, I worked as a medical-surgical registered nurse in an academic medical center.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends and you can often find me cooking, reading, squeezing in a Pilates session, and enjoying the outdoors.
