Hello, nice to meet you! I’m Scott, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with 12 years of nursing experience. I provide care to clients across Colorado, specializing in depression, ADHD, anxiety, and LGBTQIA+ care. I completed my Master of Science in Nursing with a focus in psychiatry at Frontier Nursing University, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based mental health care.
As a psych NP, I treat a broad spectrum of mental health conditions in addition to my specializations.
I help clients find the support that fits them best, through medication management, therapy, and mind-body practices. My goal is to offer a calm, grounded space, using a client-centered approach informed by CBT, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.
