I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP), trained across the lifespan but specialized with children, adolescents and families. In addition to practicing from a strengths-based perspective, I teach child/adolescent/family psychotherapy at UCSF, where I am an Associate Health Sciences Clinical Professor in the PMHNP and DNP programs. Furthermore, I am a Fellow of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (FAANP).
