I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with a doctorate in nursing. While my role is similar to that of a psychiatrist, my nursing background allows for a more holistic approach to care. Like psychiatrists, I can prescribe medication, provide therapy and coaching, conduct evaluations, and more. My certification is through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), and I am qualified to treat psychiatric patients across the lifespan.
