Great to meet you!

Board Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a master’s degree in nursing from Western Governor University and post master’s from Maryville University in St. Louis. Also board certified in Ambulatory Care and have been caring for people with mental health issues in/out of the hospital for over 18 years. I have a strong critical care background and treat different issues such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, LGBTQ+ issues, men’s health issues, postpartum depression amongst others.

My approach to therapy

My practice focus is on medication management to help clients feel more at ease as they navigate their mental health struggles. Always striving to provide diverse and culturally competent care. I welcome clients across the lifespan including teenagers and older adults looking for mental health guidance. ADHD treatment provided after neuropsychological assessments done only.

What you can expect from me

Clients will gain deeper understanding of self and their mental health challenges. I aim to create a supportive space to explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors together. You will develop practical strategies to manage stress, improve relationships, and foster personal growth.
