Great to meet you!

Patient-focused and compassionate Psychiatric APRN specialized in the care of individuals living with Serious Mental Illnesses (i.e., Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Schizophrenia, MDD, GAD, ADHD). I understand the challenges of navigating periods of depression, PTSD, mania, and the uncertainty that can come in between. My mission is to provide supportive, evidence-based care that helps you establish stability, regain balance, and enhance your quality of life.

I take a whole-person approach, offering:

  • Thoughtful medication management tailored to your unique needs.
  • Therapy options such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal and social rhythm therapy (IPSRT).
  • Education and guidance to help you recognize early warning signs of mood changes.
  • Support for families and loved ones who play an important role in recovery.

My goal is not only to reduce symptoms but also to help you live with greater confidence, stability, and well-being.

My approach to therapy

I take a patient-centered, trauma-informed approach to care. I believe in meeting clients where they are—emotionally, mentally, and in their life journey. Each session is a safe space where clients can feel heard without judgment and receive care in a collaborative manner. Together, we work to understand the root of what is going on—not just treating symptoms, but addressing underlying issues.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a balanced approach that blends evidence-based psychiatric evaluation with supportive, therapeutic conversation. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, or behavioral challenges, my goal is to help you gain insight, develop coping strategies, and move toward emotional wellness. Education is a key part of my practice, and I make sure every client leaves each session with a clearer understanding of their condition, their treatment options, and a personalized plan for progress.
