My path to becoming a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner was not the usual one. I was a junior high and high school special and regular teacher for 22 years. Eight of those years were spent teaching adolescents with emotional and behavioral disabilities. I do truly love working with teens.
Though I loved teaching, there came a time for change. As a registered nurse I worked in local hospitals as a medical-surgical nurse, a travel nurse, and finally a drug and alcohol detox nurse.
Additionally, I have a lot of family experience with ADHD, anxiety, and mood disorders. I have been on the inside and understand the impact mental health issues have on both the individual and the family.
I don’t believe in just prescribing medication. Medication helps when appropriate, but therapy, learning strategies, and changing negative self-talk are just as important. Psychiatry blends together teaching, problem-solving, and listening in a way that I am able to help people become their best selves.
