Great to meet you!

As a board certified mental health provider, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. I know seeking help can sometimes be one of the hardest part steps to take, so congratulations on taking this step!

I am dual certified as family nurse practitioner for over 10 years and as Psy mental health provider for almost 3 years

I have currently shifted from internal medicine or primary care to focus more of psy mental health

My client base is mainly men and women who are struggling with substance use disorder, anxiety ,depression and bipolar disorder

My approach to therapy

A bit about my approach to treatment and therapy

Everyone has a unique story and deserves an individualized approach to care. Once we decide we are a good fit for each other we’ll act as partners in your therapeutic journey. It’s important to me that we communicate openly and you feel respected in our relationship. I’ll be there to listen to you, challenge you, and support you along the way.

What you can expect from me

What you can expect from our first session

I always start with an introductory session, where you’ll have the opportunity to share your story and what you hope to achieve in treatment and therapy. We’ll work together to figure this out! I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment that allows you to feel comfortable sharing and being vulnerable, while also feeling secure. From there, we’ll work together in the sessions that follow to make these goals a reality for you
