Great to meet you!

I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who works with adolescents, adults, and older adults navigating depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other mental health concerns. I provide both medication management and individual therapy, with a focus on helping each client feel heard, respected, and involved in their care. My style is empowering, affirming, and open-minded, and I aim to create a space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing without judgment.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative and grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I take time to understand how your symptoms are affecting your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and daily life before developing a treatment plan. When medication is appropriate, we’ll discuss your options together and consider what fits your goals, preferences, and needs. I believe effective care should be personalized, practical, and built around your voice.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and build a clear understanding of what brought you to care. We’ll discuss your symptoms, mental health history, current challenges, and treatment goals. We’ll also talk through potential next steps, which may include therapy, medication management, or a combination of both. You can expect a supportive, open conversation and a plan tailored to you.
