Hi, I’m Madeleine! I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with nearly a decade of experience in the field of psychiatry, serving in a variety of settings and roles including mental health counseling, certified psychiatric nursing and currently practicing as an advanced practice registered nurse. I earned my MSN from Maryville University in 2024 and became board-certified with the American Nurses Credential Center as a PMHNP in the same year. I have extensive expertise working with the pediatric population, while also providing care to patients across the lifespan. My practice is guided by a patient-centered and trauma-informed approach, ensuring that individuals and families remain at the forefront of their psychiatric care. I strive to deliver care that is compassionate, collaborative, and sustainable. I value the voices of patients and families as true partners in the healing process.
I pride myself in thoughtful and individualized medication prescribing, always considering each patient’s unique history, goals, and circumstances. I value collaboration with families, therapists, and other members of the care team, recognizing that mental health is best supported when providers work together to guide and empower patients along their recovery journey. I am passionate about building strong therapeutic relationships and I believe that compassionate and coordinated care creates the foundation for meaningful and lasting change. I look forward to embarking on this journey alongside you and look forward to guiding you to the best version of your true self!
