Hi, I'm
Laura Walker
I'm thrilled you're here.
I want to take a moment to introduce myself and share a bit about who I am as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. You see, I've been in your shoes; I understand the struggles, often in a way that only someone with lived experiences can. I know that obtaining quality mental health care can be intimidating and challenging.
As your copilot in this journey, I'm here to make that road a little less daunting. I'm not just a healthcare provider; I'm your partner, and we'll work side by side to navigate the challenges and embrace the victories.
I take great pride in staying up to date with the latest research in mental health because I have a deep love for learning. This commitment to lifelong learning ensures that I can provide you with the most current and effective treatments.
On a personal note, when I'm not immersed in the world of mental health, I love traveling, reading a good book, or exploring the PNW with my two kids, husband, and two doodles. Just like you, I value the moments that bring joy and fulfillment to life.
I get it, and I'm committed to providing the care and support you deserve. Let's face this journey together, one step at a time.
Yours truly,
Laura Walker
