I am a registered nurse, with 5 years of experience working in psychiatry.

I have a bachelor of arts degree in psychology, as well as a bachelor of science degree in nursing.

I am extremely knowledgeable about mental health. Topics of expertise include: assessment of mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder, assessment of psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia and drug-induced psychosis, basic interventions to assist in managing these disorders, and an understanding of psychiatric medications used to treat/manage these disorders.

*I will not provide any formal diagnoses, only general information and suggestions for management*

I am extremely passionate about mental health as well, particularily helping others with emotion regulation and distress tolerance. I want to help everyone experience more happiness and contentment in their lives, and learn how to better regulate the negative emotional reactions we all experience. I am passionate about teaching a variety of health and wellness topics from a mental health perspective as well, for example; stress management, sleep, nutrition, conflict resolution, navigating change, trauma and coping with traumatic experiences, and effective communication.

I also crochet.
