Jake received his Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Degree from the University of Utah. He is also licensed in the State of Nevada where he serves the under privileged population in Southern Nevada. Jake worked at the behavioral health unit at the IHC Hospital in St. George Utah and the LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City Utah.
Jake has worked in multiple levels of behavioral health treatment settings including inpatient, outpatient, wilderness and a number of residential programs. He has grown to love treating the adolescent and young adult population and customizes every treatment plan to their situation.
Jake’s theory on medication management is to use the least amount of medication possible to stabilize the individual. This in turn allows the patient to develop appropriate coping skills and to not always have to rely on medication to solve the problem at hand.
While he’s not treating patients, Jake spends his time outdoors, either hiking, mountain biking, or boating. He especially enjoys spending time with his children and especially his grandchildren.
