About Me

 

Hello and welcome! I’m Elle, a mom just like you and a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I’ve been helping kids and their families for over 10 years and have learned a lot about the ups and downs of parenting along the way.

My days are spent at a children’s hospital helping families through tough times, finding the best ways to make kids feel better. I love teaching and supporting parents and caregivers—it’s what I’m passionate about.

I’ve seen many parents feel lost and confused when it comes to their child’s mental health. Maybe it’s hard to find someone who can help figure out what’s going on, or maybe there’s a diagnosis or medication that doesn’t make sense. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by it all.

That’s why I started aMentalMother.com. I want to share what I’ve learned with more people, helping you feel more confident and less alone in supporting your child’s mental health.

Here, we’ll talk about how to understand and help our kids together. You’re not alone on this journey. Let’s make this path a bit easier to walk, with lots of support and knowledge to guide us.

Welcome to our community—where understanding and caring for our kids’ mental health becomes a journey we take together.
