Great to meet you!

I am a doctoral-prepared, dually certified PMHNP. I specialize in addiction and mental health treatment, with a focus on helping patients feel heard, supported, and empowered throughout their healing journey. I work closely with each patient to develop personalized treatment plans that promote long-term stability, recovery, and overall wellness.

My approach to therapy

My approach to providing care is rooted in compassion, respect, and whole-person wellness. I believe that effective healthcare goes beyond treating symptoms. It involves understanding each individual’s mental, emotional, physical, and social needs.

What you can expect from me

We will discuss your medical history, mental health history, current symptoms, lifestyle factors, medications, and any concerns related to stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, or overall wellness. This session also provides an opportunity to share your personal goals for treatment and to ask questions about your care.
