Great to meet you!

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, patient-centered mental health care. I earned my MSN from Chamberlain University and my Post Master's PMHNP Certification from Robert Morris University. My goal is to create a supportive environment where each and every patient feels heard, respected, and actively involved in their care.

My approach to therapy

I have a special interest in working with the neurodivergent population and their families, providing thoughtful, individualized care that recognizes each person’s unique strengths and needs. I also have spent a great amount of my career working with children and adolescents.

What you can expect from me

During the first appointment, I focus on getting to know the patient by creating a compassionate and nonjudgmental environment where patients feel comfortable sharing their concerns, hopes and dreams, and goals for their future. Together, we work to develop an individualized plan focused on improving daily functioning, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life.
