Summary

• Battling anxiety, depression, or other mental health conditions can wear a person down and lead to diminished school/work performance, dysfunctional relationships, and sometimes even life-damaging decisions. I am currently accepting new patients in need of help navigating new or chronic mental health concerns, psychiatric medication management, as well as exploring non-medication interventions. I see children ages 6 and up as well as adults.
  I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner in Shawnee, KS. Although I took a long circuitous route in life before landing here, this helped shape my views of life, the universe, and everything and has provided a unique lens in how I see the concept of mental health. My core practice principles are compassion, collaboration, and honesty.
  My background includes 6 years in the USMC Reserves, work as a carpenter, nightlife marketing management, all manner of retail and service jobs, many years driving trucks in the oil fields of Wyoming & North Dakota, & a 2700 mile hike on the Pacific Crest Trail. That's a bit of my story, please give me a call and let's see how I can help you with your story.
