About

Based on the Latest Medical Evidence

Optimizing mental health often requires a multifaceted approach with therapy, better sleep, more physical activity and medication.

I prescribe medications carefully and thoughtfully to enhance your ability to feel calm, positive and focused.

My background as a researcher allows me to implement best practices as soon as new information becomes available.

I can help connect you to a therapy provider (if desired) as I do not provide therapy as part of my practice.

I have been a Nurse Practitioner (NP) since 2013 after training at the University of California San Francisco School of Nursing and Brown University.

Board Certified as both a Psychiatric Mental Health NP and a Family Medicine NP.

This holistic training allows for a comprehensive approach to your background and your goals - as well as a deep understanding of the ways that physical health and mental health are profoundly interconnected.

I see myself first as a medication educator and am happy to do entire appointments just to talk about options, risks, benefits, likely timelines for symptom improvement, etc, and answer many questions! No pressure to start meds unless/until you are ready.

I look forward to partnering with you to help you feel like the best version of yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (NP)?

A Psychiatric NP is a registered nurse with 2+ years of graduate-level training in Psychiatry/Mental Health with a Masters Degree and National Certification.

Psychiatric NPs have a similar spectrum of practice areas as a general psychiatrist and can prescribe the same medications.

I am Board-Certified by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (AANC) in Psychiatry/Mental Health and by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) in Family Medicine.

What is unique about Tranquil Mind Telemedicine?

I want each client to get what they need - on a schedule and at a location that works for you. Too often clients are asked to run all over town or submit multiple requests to get basic tasks accomplished.

I look forward to:

Providing virtual appointments at times that fit into your schedule, including weekdays and some evenings and weekends.
Helping trouble-shoot problems quickly - this means getting your refill authorized at your preferred pharmacy ASAP and get back to you rapidly about other concerns.
Considering your needs as a whole person - not simply someone taking medication. I have been in practice since 2013 and have valued caring for patients long-term through diverse life stages and challenges. I see the stress - and barriers to receiving care - that people face in daily life and want to make receiving care as easy and accessible as possible.
