Great to meet you!

I am a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and dual-certified Family and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 24 years of healthcare experience. I provide thoughtful, structured, and compassionate care to adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and sleep concerns.

My background in both medical and psychiatric care allows me to understand how physical health and mental health interact. I focus on safe, evidence-based treatment and clear communication so you always understand your options.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative and goal-oriented. I take time to understand your symptoms, medical history, past treatments, and daily stressors to develop a clear and practical treatment plan.

When appropriate, treatment may include medication management, lifestyle strategies, and coordination with therapy. I prioritize safety, education, and consistent follow-up to support steady progress.

What you can expect from me

The first session is a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. We will review your concerns in detail, including symptom history, medical background, and previous treatments.

You can expect a supportive but structured conversation. By the end of the visit, we will outline the next steps and discuss treatment options, so you leave with clarity and direction
