Great to meet you!

My training includes caring for both adults and children/adolescents. I am dual certified as a family nurse practitioner and psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner, which allows me to provide a holistic approach to care. I provide medication management as well as behavior and action-focused therapy.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I thrive by partnering with clients to help them achieve their goals and optimize their mental health. I treat a variety of mental health conditions, but I am particularly skilled and passionate about assisting people with depression, anxiety, and trauma.

What you can expect from our first session

My goal is that clients leave with a solid understanding of their treatment plan, tools to help them cope better with their life challenges, and with personalized medication management focusing on their symptoms with minimal adverse effects.

Please note that I only prescribe non-stimulant medications for ADHD.
