Psychiatric- Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

Anne has practiced as a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner for over 15 years.  She received her Bachelor’s of Science degree from Allen College of Nursing, followed by serving as a mental health nurse in both inpatient and outpatient settings.  She then obtained her Master’s of Science degree from the University of Iowa.  GO HAWKS!  Anne is certified through the ANCC and licensed by the State of Iowa.  Anne enjoys helping clients from 5 to 105 years old, but has particular interest in treating children, adolescents and young adults.  As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, Anne has worked in a myriad of settings, both inpatient and outpatient, providing care to children, adolescents and adults.  She has worked for Broadlawns, Orchard Place and UnityPoint.  Her role is that of medication management, specializing in depression, anxiety, ADHD and other childhood behavioral disorders.  She enjoys treating women who are expecting or need postpartum mental health care, as well as those who struggle with substance abuse.  Anne prides herself on a no-pressure approach.  Her goal isn’t for clients to start medication, but instead to know what their options are.  She’s a firm believer in patients “driving the bus” when it comes to their or their child’s treatment.  After hours, Anne loves running, spending time with her husband and watching her son and daughter participate in all sorts of activities.
