Bio


Your concerns matter!  As a Pediatric nurse practitioner (PNP) with 30 years experience,

 I strive to provide a compassionate space to safely explore medication management for mental health matters for children, adolescents, and young adults less than 22yrs of age. 

I’m a double board certified Advance Practice Nurse. My board certification include both Primary Care Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, PNP-PC and Pediatric Mental Health Specialist, CRNP-PMH. I also have an active DEA license and Maryland CDS prescriber license.

For the majority of my career I’ve been within Johns Hopkins Hospital and the University of Maryland Medical systems. I’ve worked with children and adolescents admitted for mental health services in Shepard Pratt Hospital. I work with a non-profit organization that provides Mental Health services to Maryland’s children, adolescents and young adults. I’m also a veteran.

I bring a sense of humor and the personal experience of raising three children.  Additionally, every so often my little dog enjoys visiting medication management sessions:)
