When indicated, she may recommend a medication, but not without explanation of how it acts in the body and brain.

She has experience with diagnosis and medication management of PTSD, depression, mood disorders, schizophrenia, ADHD, and more. Her nursing experience of almost 15 years includes almost 5 years of psychiatric and mental health nursing.
