“As a double board-certified Nurse Practitioner, I am passionate about shaping the next generation of psychiatric mental health providers. Precepting is more than teaching—it’s about mentoring, inspiring confidence, and creating a safe space where students can grow into compassionate, competent clinicians. I believe in guiding each student to not only build strong clinical skills but also to embrace the art of caring for the whole person. Together, we are strengthening the future of mental health care—one student at a time.”
