“Hope lights the way even in the darkest of times.”
Introduction
Welcome to your Better Tomorrow! I am one of the principal providers of our practice. I have been a certified physician assistant for 7 years and have spent almost all of that time working in various subspecialties of psychiatry, in both inpatient and outpatient settings. In 2022 I was awarded a Certificate of Advanced Qualification in Psychiatry, which is the most advanced formal certification currently offered to psychiatric physician assistants and earned by less than 3% of all PAs in the United States. Beyond my psychiatry practice in western Washington, my expertise has given me the wonderful opportunity to volunteer remotely as a consultant and executive board member for numerous humanitarian and nongovernmental organizations in Ukraine, Sweden, Moldova, Romania and several other European countries. I am an enthusiastic participant in the World Federation of ADHD and World Congress of Psychiatry as well as a supporter of the Washington Academy of Physician Assistants.
Biography
Originally from the East Coast, I moved to Washington in 2015 to attend Heritage University Physician Assistant School and have remained in the Evergreen State since then. My student experiences training in rural and medically underserved areas across the Pacific Northwest instilled in me a passion for providing high-quality psychiatric care to all populations. Since 2018 I have worked almost exclusively in inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings, providing care across the acuity spectrum and developing a holistic and comprehensive knowledge base that brings me enormous joy to share with my patients.
