Hi! I’m Julie, a psychiatric nurse practitioner with a commitment to helping individuals achieve mental wellness.  My journey in healthcare has shown me that a holistic approach to mental health is essential.  My approach encompasses medication management, when necessary, but I am equally devoted to exploring non-pharmacological interventions that feel most comfortable for the patient.  I advocate for lifestyle interventions as a cornerstone of mental well-being. Good nutrition, regular exercise, and mindfulness practices can play a pivotal role in improving mental health. Just as you might have a personal trainer for your body, I see my role as helping you develop and nurture your mind. Mental health is an investment in your mind, and it deserves the same attention and care as any other aspect of your health

 

One of my core values is to educate my patients so they understand the "why" behind every decision.  Informed patients are empowered patients.  I believe that knowledge is the key to self-empowerment, and I'm passionate about ensuring my patients are fully informed about their treatment options. I specialize in the treatment of various mental health conditions in the adult population including Bipolar Disorder, anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and other mental disorders.  My goal is to work with you to develop a personalized plan that addresses your specific needs and empowers you to overcome life's challenges.

 

Outside of work, you'll find me walking in nature with my furry companions.  I have a loving goldendoodle, who's a retired service dog, and a rescue lab, who's happiest when on one of his "sniffaries".
