I see women, ages 18 and older. I commonly help women with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, OCD, and ADHD. I love helping women through the unique challenges associated with pregnancy and postpartum, infertility, menstrual irregularities, and perimenopause and menopause.

Most appointments are online using a secure video platform connected to the patient portal. I see patients who reside in the state of Colorado. Office appointments are available at my Louisville office.

I primarily focus on women's mental health but consider male clients on a case-by-case basis. If you're interested, feel free to reach out to see if we're a good fit.

Integrative psychiatry is a holistic approach that harmonizes the principles of both Eastern and Western philosophies in mental health care. It embraces conventional psychiatric treatments rooted in Western medicine while incorporating complementary practices from Eastern traditions, such as mindfulness, acupuncture, herbal remedies, and yoga. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, my training in Western medicine equips me with a solid foundation in traditional psychiatric care. However, my specialization in holistic practices enables me to offer a comprehensive approach, leveraging both worlds to optimize mental health outcomes. I integrate evidence-based treatments with holistic modalities, ensuring a personalized and balanced approach tailored to each individual's unique needs, fostering holistic well-being for mind, body, and spirit.

Integrative clinicians use the best of what Western medicine offers alongside evidence-based alternative therapies (like supplements, plant medicine, mindfulness, diet and exercise practices). Alternative healers avoid use of Western medicine entirely.

No, absolutely not. Integrative psychiatry does not mean anti-medication.

Integrative psychiatry embodies a comprehensive approach that incorporates a range of therapeutic modalities, including medication when necessary. The goal is to harmonize conventional psychiatric treatments with complementary and alternative approaches, ensuring a holistic and individualized approach to mental health.

Yes, I can help people who want to stop their medications, reduce their dose, or simplify their medication regimen. If I think it will do more harm than good, I will explain why. I can specifically help with reducing the overall side effect burden of stopping antidepressant medications, in a safe, effective manner.

I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC). My professional role is similar to that of a psychiatrist. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I am qualified to prescribe medication, including controlled substances, provide therapy and coaching, conduct evaluations, and more.

Frequency will depend on the nature and severity of your symptoms. It is most common for us to meet biweekly or monthly for the first 3-6 months of treatment and then to meet every 3 months following that. I have the flexibility to meet more frequently in the beginning of treatment if that is indicated and desired.
