Overview

I’m the Director of Advanced Practice Providers at Stella Center and oversee our assessment team. I became a nurse practitioner in 2007 after 10 years of hospital nursing experience. We specialize in identifying innovative treatments & therapies that can help relieve symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD & TBI. After completing a virtual assessment together that accounts for medical, biological, psychological & social factors, I provide individualized treatment recommendations across our protocols: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy, the dual sympathetic reset (an advanced stellate ganglion block), ketamine infusions, integration therapy, and more.

Our priority is your outcome. It starts with an assessment with me to identify what treatments can decrease your symptoms. For some, it’s DSR SGB injections to calm the fight-or-flight response. For others, it’s ketamine infusions & integrations to rebuild neuron pathways & create healthy habits. I hope to be your expert guide in healing.
