Great to meet you!

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I bring more than 30 years of clinical nursing experience, including 20 years dedicated to inpatient behavioral health. Throughout my career, I have cared for individuals living with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, psychosis, and substance-use disorders, including those facing some of the most difficult points in their lives. My practice is grounded in compassionate, patient-centered, and evidence-based psychiatric care.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in the belief that everyone deserves quality care, hope, and respect. I strive to create a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and involved in decisions about your care.

Together, we can work toward greater clarity, direction, and confidence as you navigate your mental health journey. Whether you are facing everyday stress, life transitions, or managing a chronic mental health condition, we can explore treatments and practical tools that support you in coping, healing, and thriving.

What you can expect from me

When you meet with me, you can expect a supportive, sincere, and judgment-free space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. I believe that healing starts with being heard. I will listen closely to your concerns, symptoms, life experiences, and the goals that matter most to you. Together, we will develop a treatment plan that feels personal, practical, and aligned with your values so you can move forward with greater confidence, hope, and support.
