Nursing school

I began my nursing career at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. After graduation, I began practicing in many specialty areas, including pediatric critical care, and emergency medicine.

Graduate nursing degree

In 1990, I completed the Seattle University Master of Arts in Existential Phenomenological Psychology. Their individual approach to psychotherapy has driven my personal philosophy ever since. I became licensed as an Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner in the State of Washington in 1992.

I am particularly skilled in medication management, having provided for patients with every psychiatric disorder.

licensure

In 1992 I passed the board examination and became a Clinical Nurse Specialist and ARNP. The title Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner reflects my capabilities and responsibilities as a licensed independent medical provider.

experience

While I've spent decades so far working to help patients and learn more about the nuances of everyday life, I still try to remember how little any one of us can know. Honest dialogue and communication are the foundation of successful therapy.
