Great to meet you!

My 18 years of experience in this field enables me to address a wide range of patient needs. I am committed to providing flexible, nonjudgmental, and culturally sensitive care to a diverse patient population. From the time of the first appointment (and consistently thereafter), the patient and I will review their reasons for seeking care, discuss current challenges and stressors, and identify treatment goals. This information guides my formulation of an individualized treatment plan tailored to the patient’s specific needs and objectives.

My approach to therapy

I believe the provider–patient relationship should be individualized to each patient’s needs. There is no "one size fits all. My clinical approach is informed by 18 years of practice—experience I attribute to the trust of my patients. I am grateful to those who invite me to be part of their journey toward wellness.

When it comes to patient care, I strive to maintain a holistic approach. in addition to my work as a Psychiatric & Mental Health NP I am also board certified as an Adult/Gerontological NP. Given this commitment, I have practiced integrated psychiatric & medical care for over a decade. I believe this foundation contributes to a well-informed treatment plan.

What you can expect from me

During the first session we will focus on your reason for seeking care and your goals for the outcome. Together, we will review possible treatment modalities to support you in obtaining that outcome.
