Education: 

• Master of Science in Nursing from Vanderbilt University (August 2011)

My Certifications:

• Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (ARNP)

• PMHNP-BC (Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner – Board Certified) by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) since 2011

Background Experience:

I have experience managing psychiatric medications for people of all ages and backgrounds and with varying severity.

I have worked in outpatient private practice, community mental health centers, skilled nursing and residential care facilities, and inpatient psychiatric units. I also have experience managing medications for opioid and alcohol detox.

I have a special interest in nutrition and exercise and how they affect brain health and overall wellness.

As a breast cancer survivor, I hope to be an example of resilience. I believe with hope, faith and individual lifestyle changes and enhancements, anyone’s life can improve.

You deserve to live a life filled with health and happiness.

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and spending time with my husband Cody, our sons Cody II (5) and Callahan “Cal” (3) and our golden retriever Charlotte (9).

Exercise helps my body and mind. I enjoy Pilates, strength training, and daily Peloton activities.
