I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner and holistic nurse practitioner with a doctorate in educational leadership, years of experience in community mental health, and an active private practice. Whether you are carrying anxiety, grief, trauma, or something harder to name, I am here to listen without judgment and help you find your way forward.
I take an integrative, holistic approach that combines evidence-based psychotherapy with an understanding of how the mind, body, and environment shape mental health. Depending on what you need, I may draw on cognitive behavioral techniques, EMDR to process trauma, mindfulness-based strategies to build present-moment awareness, or psychodynamic exploration to uncover deeper patterns. I also bring training in acceptance and commitment therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused brief therapy. When medication is part of the picture, I treat it as one tool among many, alongside lifestyle, nutrition, and the healing that comes from a genuine therapeutic relationship.
Our first session is a conversation, not a checklist. I will ask about what brought you in, your history, and what you are hoping for, but mostly I want you to feel heard. Together we will begin to map out a plan that fits your life and your goals. You will leave with a clearer sense of direction and, most importantly, the feeling that you are not in this alone.
