Great to meet you!

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Emory University. I bring over 8 years of clinical experience, including 4 years in medical nursing and 4 years in mental health care across inpatient, emergency, and outpatient settings.I also served as a nurse in the U.S. military, where I cared for active-duty service members, veterans, and their families. This experience shaped a steady, grounded approach to care, especially in moments of stress, transition, or uncertainty.

My approach to therapy

In my practice, I strive to create a calm, supportive space where you feel heard and respected. I take time to understand the full picture, your symptoms, your experiences, and what matters most to you, so that care feels thoughtful, not rushed. Many of the individuals I work with are navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, sleep concerns, burnout, or feeling overwhelmed despite functioning well on the outside.

What you can expect from me

In your first session, we’ll focus on understanding your concerns, symptoms, and treatment goals in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. Together, we’ll develop a personalized plan, which may include medication management and practical strategies. You’ll leave with greater clarity and clear next steps for your care.
