103 NP, Independent Practice in Group Settings
I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner based in the San Francisco Bay Area, where I serve as faculty in the UCSF School of Nursing. I hold dual board certifications in advanced practice adult psychiatric nursing and adult primary care. I was trained at UCSF and have been in practice since 2012.
In my clinical practice at Intuitive Psychiatry, I offer virtual and in person visits for adults residing in California. I provide psychiatric consultation, diagnostic evaluation, medication management, and some psychotherapy. I have extensive experience and treat most psychiatric conditions (depression, anxiety, insomnia, PTSD, ADHD, substance use, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and more). I aim to put you in the driver's seat in your life. You deserve to be there! I am kind, supportive, and offer specific advice and recommendations.
I was trained in CBT (cognitive behavior therapy) by the Beck Institute. I am also trained in complementary modalities (reiki and guided meditation) to support those who want to use both Western and Eastern approaches to health and wellbeing. I am LGBTQIA+ friendly, experienced in supporting people in complex relationships, an ally to people with disabilities, and committed to promoting a fair and ecologically sustainable society.
