How many times have you felt unheard of as a patient, especially when it comes to your mental wellness? Have you been offered medications that either don’t seem to be benefitting you or are you looking for other options/alternatives? In medicine, for every ill there is a pill. For every pill, there is a side effect. Sometimes its not about the pills, its about the skills. Instead of treating the symptoms, we will work together to identify the underlying causes of what you or your loved ones are feeling. True solutions, not just bandaids.

With over 23 years in healthcare combined as an RN, Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I seek to treat patients better as a “whole”. After the COVID pandemic of 2020, my own compass arrow was spinning personally and professionally, and I had to resist my own urge to walk away from healthcare entirely. I was fed up with the medical care that was being offered to the patients I truly cared about, but what was most concerning was the lack of regard for everyones mental health. Patients, family members, colleagues all alike were impacted forever changing the course of how we should be addressing mental wellness for all. This is what inspired me to pursue the opening of Desert Health is Wealth.

Desert Health is Wealth is a Nurse Practitioner founded mental wellness clinic looking to help achieve total mind and body wellness. Looking beyond just the black and white methods of traditional psychiatric medical practice, each client will have the opportunity to explore other possible underlying organic causes for why their mental wellness may not be to its fullest potential. I believe in the power of collaboration between the client and provider to create exceptional health outcomes.

As a team, we will discuss the mental wellness vision you have for yourself and establish treatment goals centered around what matters most to you as a client. We will encompass a plan of care that is holistic in approach, utilizing a combination of treatment modalities including medication management, nutrition, vitamins/minerals, exercise and therapies that will not only meet but exceed your mental wellness expectations.
