Patty is both ANCC and AANP board certified family nurse practitioner. Her passion for nursing began after 15 years of caring for her son and experiencing firsthand the excellent care he received by his care team. They saw him as more than a patient, but as a boy with passion for life. After his passing, and motivated by her experience she returned to school to pursue a nursing degree.
She earned her Bachelor’s in Nursing from Boise State University prior to graduating from the University of St. Augustine with a Master’s in Health Sciences. Her nursing experience has included working in a variety of emergency departments throughout Eastern Washington and most recently in Primary Care in Northern Idaho. Her approach to primary care focuses on the whole person and partnering with patients to assist them meeting their individual health goals.
She met her husband while working as an EMT and they have been married for over 30 years. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her husband, family, grandchildren, and their crazy goldendoodles.

I have worked in the mental health field since 2010. I took a four year break from mental health and worked as an RN on cardiac/critical care units to solidify my medical training. In 2021 I graduated from Gonzaga University as a PMHNP. I worked as a provider at a residential treatment center for adolescents and young adults. I have learned that everyone’s experiences with mental health are different and treatments need to be tailor fit for each individual.
I take a comprehensive approach to your psychiatric needs. Our first meeting will be about 60 minutes. During that time, I will review your physical and mental health history. I will be attentive to your concerns and work with you to develop a plan for treatment.
I am committed to helping you achieve your mental health goals. I understand that each person is unique and faces different challenges in life. I will work to partner with you and provide a plan that focuses on your strengths, values, aspirations, and work on medication management, as well as developing coping skills and resilience.
# About Me
I’m Sharon Smith—born and raised beneath the wide Texas sky, where southern hospitality and a strong sense of community were woven into every Sunday supper and porch-sitting evening. In 2014, my love for the Pacific Northwest’s pine-scented air and close-knit neighborhoods led me to Spokane, Washington, where I’ve put down roots ever since.
# My Professional Journey
I’ve been a proud nurse for 18 years, and throughout that time, I’ve walked alongside patients facing complex mental health challenges. Growing up in a quietly conservative Southern environment, I witnessed firsthand how stigma and misunderstanding can compound someone’s struggle. It stirred in me a determination to expand my knowledge, sharpen my skills, and become a guide for others on their behavioral health journeys.
# Education & Certifications
- Master of Science in Nursing (Psychiatric-Mental Health), Gonzaga University
- Board-Certified in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing
- 18 years of diverse nursing experience, including inpatient psychiatric units, community mental health clinics, and telehealth services
# My Approach to Care
My southern roots taught me the value of genuine compassion, simple kindness, and listening with my whole heart. In my practice, I strive to:
- Create a warm, nonjudgmental space where patients feel safe to share their stories
- Blend evidence-based psychiatric strategies with empathetic, patient-centered communication
- Encourage families to engage in the healing process, offering education and support every step of the way
# Why Behavioral Health?
Early in my career, I cared for individuals whose voices were often hushed by shame or fear. I realized that healing goes beyond treating symptoms—it’s about restoring dignity, fostering resilience, and helping each person discover their strengths. My goal is to walk beside you, offering tools and encouragement so you can thrive mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
# Outside of Work
When I’m not caring for patients, you’ll find me exploring Spokane’s trails with my beloved dog, planning a modest herb garden for my husband to plant and tend, or gathering friends for a laid-back backyard cookout, Texas chili or BBQ a must. I believe that a balanced life—one that nurtures mind, body, and community—provides a powerful foundation for the work I do.
Thank you for considering me as your partner in mental wellness. I look forward to journeying with you toward hope, healing, and a brighter tomorrow.
