Meet Kirsten
I began my nursing career and chose to further my education to became a family nurse practitioner. As a nurse practitioner, I have worked in primary care and geriatrics, as well as provided medical care on an inpatient psychiatric unit. It was in this setting that I discovered my interest in psychiatry and saw firsthand how optimal outcomes are achieved when a patient's medical and mental health needs are addressed collaboratively as a team. I look forward to working with you and your mental health provider to maximize the effectiveness of your care and make you feel at ease during your journey to health and wellness. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my husband and 2 small children. We are avid sports fans, especially UGA football.
