Born and raised in Youngstown, Ohio, I earned my bachelor's from Kent State University. My Master's and Doctorate journey led me to Northern Kentucky University. As a locum tenens RN/PMHNP for 6 years, I've served in 17 cities across 11 states. With experience in inpatient and outpatient settings, I've worked across all life spans, specializing in diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, substance use, and more.
I approach each patient with an open mind and heart, fostering a safe and supportive environment where they feel comfortable sharing their experiences and concerns. I believe in encouraging accountability, empowering patients to take an active role in their care and make informed decisions about their well-being. My holistic approach encompasses not only the physical aspects of mental health but also the emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions that contribute to overall wellness.
Clients can expect to leave a session with me feeling understood, supported, and empowered. I will work collaboratively with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and goals. I will also provide you with the tools and resources you need to manage your mental health effectively.
