Dedicated to Whole Person Mental Health Solutions
Hello, my name is Kristen. I’m a doctorally prepared Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 9 years of experience providing patient-centered psychiatric care. My approach is rooted in the belief that mental health is more than a diagnosis or medication—it is about understanding and caring for the whole person.
I view my role as a partner in your journey. I work alongside you—not in front of you—to create a thoughtful, individualized path toward wellness.
With over 15 years in nursing and 9 years in psychiatric care, I bring both clinical expertise and a deep respect for each individual’s lived experience. My years as an emergency room nurse at a Level I trauma center provided me the opportunity to work as a sexual assault nurse examiner, which informs my trauma-aware, compassionate approach to care.
I believe mental health care should be collaborative and person-centered. You are the expert in your own life—I am here to support, guide, and provide the tools and insight needed to help you move forward. Whether it’s medication, therapy, lab work, or a referral to outside services with other specialists, I will get you where you need to go.
