Great to meet you!

As a dual-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) with six years of clinical experience, I bring a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach to patient care. Holding a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree, I specialize in psychiatric illness and evidence-based pharmacotherapy, while remaining unafraid to engage in difficult but necessary conversations. I deeply respect the rights, beliefs, and values of every individual, and I am committed to fostering a collaborative environment where shared learning and personal growth thrive. My practice is rooted in empathy, curiosity, and a dedication to improving mental health outcomes.

My approach to therapy

My approach to providing psychiatric care is grounded in evidence-based practices, patient-centered care, and a holistic understanding of mental health. I use my clinical practice experience to offer guidance based on established psychiatric principles, research, and therapeutic frameworks.

What you can expect from me

My goal would be to help clients gain insight, coping skills, and a structured path toward mental wellness, as well as help clients get a deeper awareness of their diagnosis, symptoms, and underlying causes
