About My Clients

I am passionate about holding space for individuals & truly listening. Those I work with may have concerns such as anxiety, depression, attention differences (ADHD), & OCD spectrum, as well as the mental health effects of learning differences, endocrine conditions (diabetes, PCOS, thyroid, hypoglycemia), & connective tissue disorders. I am invested in establishing meaningful connections to individuals & am keenly sensitive to the stress coping with other health conditions confer upon wellbeing.

My Background and Approach

Also trained as an FNP with a speciality in endocrine (hormone health) , my lens is foundationally integrative and holistic. I assess and provide recommendations aimed at the root causes and/ or associated factors - including nutritional psychiatry approaches, lifestyle, movement, environment, and if it resonates, spiritual factors. I also have trained in Mindfulness based cognitive therapy and mindfulness practices may be used to help foster greater awareness, response, and treatment approaches. I can provide more straight forward traditional medication management; however will offer evidenced based complimentary therapies when appropriate. Lab monitoring and pharmacogenomic testing is part of my practice. Overall my approach is dynamic, iterative and seeks to support the wellbeing of the whole individual- not just the symptoms- providing scaffolding, resources, and tools so that individuals can access / develop their strengths to perpetuate inner healing.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Differences are not disorders. Normality and typicality are relative. Everything is connected and our approach to wellbeing and the path to being well reflects this at Nampsych.
