Great to meet you!

I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 20 years of healthcare experience, including 10 years as a family nurse practitioner. My experience caring for patients with mental health concerns inspired me to pursue advanced training in psychiatric care. I am passionate about making sure patients feel heard, supported, and cared for with the knowledge and attention they deserve.

My approach to therapy

I take a holistic, patient-centered approach that recognizes the connection between mental and physical health. I believe effective psychiatric care may include both medication management and psychotherapy, with treatment tailored to each patient’s individual needs, concerns, and goals. My goal is to create a supportive environment where patients feel comfortable being open and involved in their care.

What you can expect from me

Our first session will be focused on getting to know you, understanding your concerns and mental health history, and discussing your goals for treatment. We will work together to develop an individualized treatment plan that may include medication management, psychotherapy, or both. You can expect a compassionate, thorough, and judgment-free approach.
