Meet Our Nurse Practitioner

At North Coast Family Foundation, we understand that mental health care is not one-size-fits-all. For some individuals, medication can be an important part of the healing journey alongside counseling and therapy.

Our Nurse Practitioner team works collaboratively with clients and counselors to provide thoughtful, personalized medication management in a warm and supportive environment.

What Is Medication Management?

Medication management involves evaluating, prescribing, monitoring, and adjusting medications that may help support emotional and mental wellness.

Our Nurse Practitioner works closely with each client to:

  • understand symptoms and concerns,

  • review medical and mental health history,

  • discuss treatment options,

  • monitor effectiveness,

  • and support long-term wellness goals.

We believe medication decisions should always be:

  • collaborative,

  • informed,

  • respectful,

  • and individualized.
