It’s the time of year when many of us pause to reflect on the previous year, and contemplate how we might change things moving forward.

For many, the desire is to ADD to life.

Work out more. Read more. Cook more.

But what about doing LESS?

Less tv. Less clutter. Fewer commitments taking us away from home. Less noise, inside and out.

Are you ready to do LESS? I’m here to help you reprioritize. When your mind is healthy, so often are the body, the home, and the relationships.

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I provide medication management for a variety of mental health needs in children, adolescents, and adults.

I have openings within 72 hours of first contact. Early mornings, evenings, and weekends are available.

I am out of network with all insurance. A new evaluation is $300 and follow up is $150. Payment is due at the time of service and I provide a Superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for out of network reimbursement. HSA and FSA funds can be applied.

The very best reminder for the beginning of this month.

11/22/2025

Being board certified as both a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner and a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner has given me the perfect background for meeting the needs of families who have (or had) infertility, high risk pregnancies, babies in the NICU, and who are parenting children with special needs.

My daughter, now 14, was born at 32 weeks gestation. When I first saw her, she was on a ventilator.

My son is 18 and has autism. We were struggling to parent him before he was 2.

That fear? That overwhelm? I’ve felt it.

The missed developmental milestones, the Help Me Grow assessments, the IEP meetings…. I’ve done all of that. Year after year.

When you come as a patient to The Olive Branch for psychiatric needs, you don’t just get medication management. You get a provider who will explore the WHOLE story, the entire background, and who will present you with treatment options.

Whether it’s you, your child, or your spouse, I’m prepared to meet your mental health needs.

I commit to seeing new patients within 72 hours of first contact. A new evaluation is $300 and follow up is $150. HSA/FSA funds can be used. A Superbill is provided for your use in obtaining out of network reimbursement.
