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 in nursing and education, along with certifications in psychiatric nursing, nursing education, perinatal mood disorders, critical incident stress management, and legal nurse consulting. With nearly 20 years of nursing experience across critical care, emergency, rapid response, medical-surgical, and interventional radiology settings, as well as extensive experience in nursing education and leadership, I bring a comprehensive understanding of healthcare practice. These experiences have shaped my role as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, grounding my work in a deep awareness of the emotional toll healthcare work can take and the critical importance of accessible, compassionate mental health support.​

​

Personal Inspiration

​

My personal experiences, including working alongside frontline workers, postpartum depression, and cancer which strengthened my approach to psychiatry. 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 pediatric and adult mental health concerns, including ADHD, autism, trauma, PTSD, substance abuse, mood disorders, perinatal mental health, depression, and anxiety. I am especially focused on supporting frontline workers, moms, nurses, caregivers, and those facing high-stress work environments or major life transitions, helping them build resilience and find balance.
