ABOUT ME
Meet Dana
Prior to becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner, the majority of my career has been spent working with people during pregnancy and postpartum. I have 12 years of experience as a labor and delivery nurse and for a decade prior I was a certified labor doula, childbirth educator, and lactation counselor.
In my spare time you will find me camping with my husband, traveling the stunning landscapes of the Southwest, and attending to the many demands of my Great Dane, Whitney.
