Great to meet you!

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Master of Science in Nursing from The Ohio State University. With more than 12 years of experience in healthcare, I have worked across inpatient and outpatient settings, providing care to individuals across the lifespan.

My approach to therapy

My clinical background allows me to support patients experiencing a wide range of mental health concerns with compassion, clinical expertise, and individualized treatment planning. I am committed to delivering evidence-based care while recognizing that each person’s story, identity, and lived experience matter.

I have completed specialized training in cultural competency and in working with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities. I believe strongly in equitable, affirming, and fair treatment for all individuals seeking mental health services. My goal is to create a safe, respectful, and collaborative space where patients feel heard, valued, and empowered in their treatment journey.

What you can expect from me

During this visit, we will:

Review your current concerns.

Discuss your mental health history.

Review your medical history.

Explore social and environmental factors.

Create a collaborative treatment plan.
