Great to meet you!

I am a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP)-prepared Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over nine years of experience as a Registered Nurse and extensive clinical training across a wide range of psychiatric settings. I am passionate about providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to patients of all ages — from children and adolescents to adults and older adults. I specialize in psychiatric evaluation, psychopharmacology, and individualized treatment planning. I have experience treating a broad spectrum of conditions, including depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, insomnia, substance use disorder, personality disorders, and behavioral disturbances. I also have specialized experience in Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for Opioid Use Disorder.

My approach to therapy

Committed to meeting patients where they are, I offer both in-person and telehealth appointments, making quality psychiatric care accessible and convenient. I take a collaborative, whole-person approach — working closely with patients and their care teams to develop treatment plans that address not just symptoms, but overall well-being.

What you can expect from me

Patients can expect to feel heard, valued and uplifted from our conversations and session. My goal is for patients to leave feeling relief and assurance they have a partner to walk through this journey with.
