A little about me …
I am a dual certified advance practice registered nurse specializing in psychiatric mental
health and family practice. I have thirteen years of advanced practice experience with
22 years in nursing altogether. I am originally from eastern Kentucky and have been
married for 30 years and have two sons. I love to travel with my family every chance I
get. I love music, true crime documentaries, but most of all helping others.
In an appointment with me, you will have someone who listens to your needs and
develops an initialized plan that works for you. No two people are the same; therefore, it
is imperative to focus on each individual as just that. My goal is to build a trusting,
therapeutic relationship with my clients.
My training and specialty work includes …
I earned an associate’s degree in nursing from Eastern Kentucky University, a
bachelor’s degree in nursing from Indiana Wesleyan University and my master’s degree
in nursing from Indiana Wesleyan University specializing as a family nurse practitioner. I
worked for nine years in both neurological and cardiovascular ICUs as a registered
nurse before
I decided to return to school to become an advanced practice registered
nurse. I practiced as a family nurse practitioner in pediatrics, family practice, urgent
care, wound care, and home health for several years. During this time, I became aware
of the urgent need for psychiatric providers when my oldest son lost three friends to
suicide while waiting for care. It was these tragic events that prompted me to return to
school once again to obtain my psychiatric mental health certification from Frontier
Nursing University.
I went on to complete my doctorate in nursing from Frontier Nursing
University focusing on suicide prevention and decreasing suicide rates through
appropriate screening and individualized treatment plans. Suicide is a PREVENTABLE
death. If you are struggling or know someone struggling, please reach out for help. Your
life matters!
My specialties include depressive disorders, mood disorders, personality disorders, post
traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, psychotic disorders, and attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
I’m most comfortable working with …
Clients ages 5 and up with a wide range of psychiatric and mental health issues. I am
LGBTQ+ friendly and offer Behavioral/Mental Health services via telehealth across
Kentucky. I often incorporate the use of psychotropic genetic testing as well as non-
pharmacologic interventions to create individualized client treatment plans.
In my free time you might find me …
Riding on a Harley with my husband, scuba diving with sea turtles, traveling to new
places, riding roller coasters at amusement parks, attending concerts, or at the gym. I
love just about anything that gets me outside.
