My Story
Integrative Psychiatric Approach
At Dual Minds Integrative Psychiatry, I provide care that treats the whole person, mind, body, and spirit. As founder and co-owner, I built the practice around an integrative and trauma-informed approach. I work with individuals across the lifespan, including those with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, nurses and frontline workers experiencing burnout, and anyone navigating life’s transitions. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to heal.
My Philosophy
Psychiatric nursing for me is about connection and support. It is not just treating symptoms, it is listening, understanding, and walking alongside you on your journey. I believe trauma-informed care is essential for everyone, and I strive to help each person rediscover resilience while feeling seen and respected.
Education and Experience
I hold advanced degrees and certifications in psychiatric nursing, nursing education, and legal nurse consulting. I have nearly 20 years of nursing experience in critical care, emergency, medical-surgical, and intensive care settings, as well as extensive experience in nursing education and leadership. These experiences shaped my understanding of the emotional toll healthcare work can take and the importance of mental health support.
Personal Inspiration
My personal experiences, including postpartum depression, cancer, and caring for frontline workers, strengthened my empathy and shaped my approach. I understand what it is like to face burnout, trauma, and life transitions, and I am committed to helping others navigate these challenges with care and compassion.
Current Practice
I provide psychiatric care and therapy for a wide range of mental health concerns, including trauma, mood disorders, perinatal mental health, depression, and anxiety. I am especially focused on supporting nurses, caregivers, and those facing high-stress work environments or major life transitions, helping them build resilience and find balance.
