I am PurplePsychNurse. By day I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner. By night or by all my free moments I am a wife, a dog mom, a writer, and a runner. I dabble in poetry and am currently working on two novels. Watch this site for more info on those.

​

My own struggles with mental illness make me a more empathetic provider. I also hope to use my knowledge as a patient and as a professional to educate and break down mental health stigma through my writing.

​

We are all healing from the bumps and bruises and blows of life. Healing is a long path. I hope my writing supports you along yours. I welcome feedback and topic suggestions.
