I am a board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner and have proudly served at Cincinnati Children’s since 2003. In my current role as clinical director for our advanced practice providers in psychiatry, I lead with a strong commitment to excellence in patient care, collaboration, and team development.
I specialize in caring for children and adolescents with psychiatric and mental health conditions, honoring the unique perspectives they bring and ensuring their voices are central to the treatment process. I view patients and their families as active partners in care, working together to create treatment plans through mutual decision-making.
My care philosophy is rooted in empathy and respect, focusing on emotional and mental health through a holistic, individualized approach. I strive to meet every patient where they are and empower them to reach their fullest potential.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my supportive husband and our three children.
