Great to meet you!

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specializing in geriatric psychiatry, dementia care, and the complex behavioral and psychiatric needs of older adults. My clinical experience includes comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and the treatment of behavioral and psychological symptoms associated with dementia and other age-related conditions. I have a particular interest in helping older adults maintain their quality of life, preserve their independence when possible, and receive thoughtful, individualized psychiatric care.

My approach to therapy

I believe caring for older adults requires patience, clinical expertise, and an appreciation for the unique challenges that come with aging and cognitive changes. My approach emphasizes evidence-based treatment, careful medication management, and collaboration with families and caregivers when appropriate.

What you can expect from me

I strive to create a supportive environment where patients and their families feel heard, respected, and involved in care decisions. My goal is to provide compassionate, specialized psychiatric care that prioritizes dignity, clarity, and quality of life.
