About me
I have always had a passion for community service, health, wellness and empowering those around me to be their best and healthiest selves. As a Georgia native, I attended Kennesaw State University and obtained my bachelor's degree in nursing. I then started my nursing career in emergency medicine at Emory Midtown Hospital (formerly Crawford Long). It was at this time that it became evident that the mind/body connection is a powerful tool. I enrolled in the psychiatric and mental health graduate program at Georgia State University where I earned my master's degree in nursing. I am board certified, licensed and fully credentialed with almost two decades of health care experience.
About my practice
My approach to patient care is patient and family centered. At Kaiser Permanente, I am part of the psychiatric consult liaison team, helping care for our members in the acute medical hospital setting. In addition to acute hospital services, I help support our behavioral health crisis center. My goal is to bring balance and stabilization to our members that are struggling with mental health crisis, substance use disorders, chronic conditions and behavioral disorders due to another medical condition.
How I thrive
Staying balanced in life is a struggle that we all face. I find joy in family activities. Getting outside in nature, planting a garden and camping in the beautiful state and national parks. I remind myself often that self-care is important to help me thrive, be a good parent, a good spouse, and most importantly, be the best provider and team member I can be.
