 I am a board certified Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner  and a graduate of EKU. I started my nursing career as a psychiatric RN. A  few of my professional research interests are integrating alternative treatments into mental healthcare, and  furthering our reach with technology. I have a master’s degree in  nursing informatics and a post master’s degree as a psychiatric and  mental health nurse practitioner across the lifespan. I love seeing individuals of all ages. I am also in the process of obtaining  certification in holistic medicine. I believe that an important part of  practice is establishing a good relationship and compromising by  discussing all options, conventional and alternative, then deciding together. In my free time I enjoy gardening, hikes with my  family, yoga and more research!
