“While serving as a Navy Nurse, I witnessed firsthand the invisible wounds carried by many Service Members returning from combat. I saw the emotional toll deployment had on them—the anxiety, depression, and PTSD that too often went untreated due to stigma or lack of access to care. Watching people suffer in silence, especially those who had already sacrificed so much, stirred something in me. I knew I wanted to do more than just recognize their pain—I wanted to be part of their healing, that’s why I became a Psych NP.”
