I am deeply grateful to be able to do this work and to be trained in providing effective choices for treating mental health challenges. My education includes a Bachelor of Art in Psychology from George Mason University and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Shenandoah University. I began advanced graduate work at George Washington University in the Adult/Gerontology Family Nurse Practitioner program before specializing as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I have 8 years of experience in the nursing and mental health field.
