Great to meet you!

My passion for mental health care is deeply rooted in my own life experiences and the experiences of the loved ones around me. Life can change in an instant, and I understand how important it is to have a safe, compassionate space where we feel seen, heard, and supported through life’s challenges.


As a doctorally prepared Nurse Practitioner with more than ten years of experience, I am passionate about providing thoughtful, compassionate, and affirming care, particularly to the LGBTQ+ community. I believe everyone deserves to feel valued, respected, and accepted exactly as they are, without fear of judgment.


I believe mental health is the foundation of our overall well-being. When we nurture our mental and emotional health, we create space to heal, grow, and thrive in every aspect of our lives. My goal is to create a welcoming environment where you feel comfortable showing up as your authentic self, knowing that you do not have to navigate life’s challenges alone. Wherever you are on your journey, you deserve compassion, support, and the opportunity to feel your best—mind, body, and spirit.

My approach to therapy

Getting started is simple. We’ll begin with a complimentary 10-minute phone consultation where we can discuss your goals, explore how I can support you, and make sure I'm a good fit for your needs.


Your journey is uniquely yours, and my role is to provide the tools, guidance, and support you need to move toward the life you want to live.


Depending on your individual needs and goals, we may incorporate medication management, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), or a combination of both. Together, we’ll develop an approach that feels right for you, honors your experiences, and supports your personal growth and well-being. You don’t have to have all the answers when you begin. We’ll take it one step at a time, together.

What you can expect from me

Together, we’ll identify meaningful short-term, mid-term, and long-term goals that reflect what matters most to you. We’ll work at a pace that feels right for you, recognizing that growth and healing look different for everyone. I define success not by perfection, but by progress. Every step forward, no matter how small, is meaningful, and I’ll be here to support and encourage you along the way.
