ABOUT

Hello! I’m Amy. I have been in Colorado since May 2023 after moving from Indiana. I have almost 20 years’ experience in healthcare. As a Registered Nurse, I worked in multiple critical care areas including adult and pediatric trauma intensive care. I also worked in an inpatient facility for children aged 5-13 with behavioral and mental health issues. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I previously worked at a private practice where I saw children, adolescents, and adults for concerns including mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, and more.

Many factors influenced my decision to become a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Through my healthcare career as well as my personal life I have seen patients, friends, and loved ones struggling with their mental health yet not getting the help they need. Far too often this was due to a lack of access or fear of stigma. As a nurse practitioner I hope to decrease barriers to mental health care through advocacy, education, and reducing stigma.

As your provider, I strive to offer a welcoming and open-minded environment where you will feel safe, valued, and heard. I love to learn people’s stories while offering compassion and support for their struggles. My treatment approach is holistic, evidence-based, and patient-centered. I recommend and educate about non-medication interventions to promote mental health and overall wellness, such as therapy, lifestyle adjustments, activity, nutrition, social connectedness, and more. Ultimately, we will develop a treatment plan TOGETHER to address your concerns and goals.

FUN FACT



I have one son and three rescue dogs. For fun, I enjoy paddleboarding, biking, throwing darts, reading, and listening to podcasts. I love developing new skills and am currently working (very slowly) on learning Spanish. One of my favorite tv shows is Bob’s Burgers – I will always try to maintain my inner child.
