Great to meet you!

If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling with focus, navigating depression, processing trauma, or facing a difficult life transition, you're not alone. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), I provide compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to your unique needs and goals.

I specialize in treating ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, grief and loss, stress, burnout, insomnia, and adjustment disorders. My approach is collaborative and judgment-free, combining comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and supportive therapeutic interventions to help you achieve meaningful and lasting improvements in your mental health.

My goal is to create a safe space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout your treatment journey. Together, we will develop a personalized plan to help you build resilience, improve daily functioning, and move toward greater well-being.

My approach to therapy

I provide a warm, collaborative, and whole-person approach to mental health care that combines therapy-informed medication management with practical support for everyday life.

I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, and stress-related concerns by focusing on self-esteem, healthy coping skills, and realistic self-care strategies that support long-term stability and balance.

My approach is fully person-centered—you are always in control of your care. I prioritize your comfort, move at your pace, and partner with you to create treatment plans that feel supportive, practical, and sustainable.

What you can expect from me

Many clients leave their first visit feeling heard, supported, and more clear about what they are experiencing. My priority is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel comfortable being yourself without pressure or judgment.

We begin by focusing on your concerns, history, and current symptoms at a pace that feels right for you. You never have to share anything before you are ready, and your comfort and autonomy are always respected.

By the end of the session, you can expect a clearer understanding of your symptoms and possible diagnoses, along with an initial, collaborative treatment plan. This may include medication options, therapy-informed strategies, and practical next steps tailored to your goals.
