Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

(she/they)

​

I have nearly a 10-year history of working in healthcare in a variety of roles and completed Bachelor of Science in Nursing at UW-Eau Claire in 2020. Following graduation, I began working in the psychiatric and mental health field as a nurse in a child and adolescent inpatient psychiatric unit. I then began working as a nurse within Dane County’s CCS program providing multiple different services to clients. As a nurse, I found my passion of working in this field and I went on to complete my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree at UW-Madison in 2025. I am board certified as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and am able to provide psychiatric and mental health treatment to individuals across the lifespan. My passion lies in working with children, adolescents, and young adults, along with their support systems, to provide comprehensive psychiatric care that is person-centered, trauma-informed, and evidence-based. I am also passionate and motivated to provide safe care for individuals that identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community. I prioritize hearing individuals’ stories and working with them and their supports to create a safe and effective treatment plan. In my role as a nurse practitioner at TPC, I provide diagnostic & risk assessments, utilize therapeutic techniques, and prescribe psychotropic medications when clinically indicated.

 

My interests outside of work include all types of arts and crafts, animals (especially cats), playing all sorts of games from video games to board games, spending time outside, and watching fantasy-style shows.
