About

About me
Greetings! Thank you for viewing my profile. I am an inclusive and affirming Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a decade of experience providing compassionate care.

I have a background in integrated care, residential treatment, and outpatient care where I have served clients from diverse populations. I have training and years of experience working with autistic individuals, people of the LGBTQAI+ community, and people with a variety of mental health diagnoses ranging from mild to severe. I work to optimize medications during our appointments in addition to the use of eclectic therapeutic interventions that meet the client's needs where they are at. We will work to adapt and cope with current and past stressors including understanding sensory sensitivities if applicable.

I am a member on the Spokane Autism Collaborative with the Spokane Regional Health District. I have been a Autism Center of Excellence since 2018.

When I am not working I enjoy learning and integrating mental health themes into my art work. I also enjoy sharing affection with my three cavapoo dogs who look like red teddy bears.
 
Treatment philosophy
To embody authenticity, see the best in people, and serve with compassion. Person-centered care that emphasizes shared decision-making is prioritized. Your input is crucial in developing a treatment plan that suits your unique needs and aspirations. I emphasize the use of healthy coping skills and provide strategies for self soothing and stress reduction so that symptoms can be managed from a calm baseline.
 
Practice description
At Townsend Medical Services, the goal is to enhance quality of life through safe and effective mental health support. I am dedicated to creating a welcoming environment where everyone feels valued and understood. With the right support, I believes that everyone can navigate through difficulties and emerge stronger than they were before. I provide virtual psychiatric medication management with therapy interventions to youth age 5-25 years old in WA state.
