TAMIKA'S BACKGROUND
I was born in Virginia but lived in several states and countries due to being part of a military family. I went to Virginia Polytechnical Institute and University (Virginia Tech) for undergrad degree in Family and Child Development. I received my Master’s Degree from a joint program with the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) and North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NCA&T). I am a current doctoral candidate with Cummings Graduate Institute for my Doctorate of Behavioral Health.

Having worked with both children and adults in both a crisis and chronic case management setting I feel very passionate about my ability to assist people with all mental health questions and concerns.
I enjoy spending time with my two wonderful children, 14 and 16, my awesome husband of two years, and all the wonderful family I have located in the area. Studying for my doctorate program has taken away all of my hobbies but my faith and my love of travel still hold a special place in my heart.

Why I Believe in the Mission of CCHCI
This organization was founded on the principle of bringing quality health care to even the most needy and vulnerable. While anyone can experience behavioral health difficulties, it is especially prevalent among those with the least access to essential resources. I love that Chiricahua can help bring these essential services to those who need it most.
JONATHAN'S BACKGROUND
I have long been fascinated by the mind and loved helping those with struggles with their mental health. I initially studied psychology, obtaining my bachelor’s degree in that field. However, I decided to change to nursing, figuring I would be able to better care for my family. In 2015, I joined the Behavioral Health Unit at Canyon Vista Medical Center, marrying my two fields. In 2016, I began pursuing further nursing education with the goal to become a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. In 2017, I became the director of the Behavioral Health Unit. In 2020, I completed my education, and in 2021, I obtained my license as an NP. In late 2021, I joined Chiricahua Community Health Centers, Inc.
More important than my career is my family. I love my wife and my five children more than anything else.

In 2001, I felt a need to advance my career and obtained my Master’s degree. I have been a successful and accomplished Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner ever since. I have worked in a variety of inpatient and outpatient settings throughout my career, though my heart is centered in community mental health.
I am an outdoor, nature loving individual. I am outside as much as I possibly can. I am an avid backcountry horseman. I have more recently initiated my running career, participating in 10k and half marathon events.

JOINED CCHCI IN 2023
Why I Believe in the Mission of CCHCI
Everyone has a different, personal definition of “health.” Whatever that definition may be, I believe that all of us deserve choices when it comes to our physical and mental health, as well as someone who we trust to help us navigate those choices. I work each day to offer those choices and that trust to our patients as part of Chiricahua’s mission of “Health for All.”
PATRICK'S BACKGROUND
Until I became a nurse, I followed a very scattered professional path. I have worked in a bakery, home construction, driving a tractor for a marina boatyard, teaching elementary school, teaching college, bartending, and as an innkeeper. I lived in 11 different states as well as Costa Rica, Spain, and 3 years in Chile. Frankly, this chapter of my life was pretty fun but I also got pretty lost! In the process of being found (by my wife), I decided to become a nurse and began working for a local in-patient behavioral health facility here in Cochise County. My experience there encouraged me to become a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Now, I work alongside my wife at CCHCI: the best possible destination along this wild and winding road that is life!
