I am a dual board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner. My clinical background spans psychiatric care, primary care, emergency medicine, intensive care, and telehealth. This broad experience helps me recognize how mental health can be affected by physical illness, chronic pain, trauma, sleep, substance use, medications, and other aspects of overall health.
I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and individualized treatment for concerns such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder, insomnia, attention and concentration difficulties, psychotic disorders, and substance-use conditions. When medication is appropriate, I prescribe thoughtfully, explain the available options clearly, and carefully monitor both effectiveness and potential side effects. I believe treatment decisions should be made with you, not simply for you.
My style is warm, attentive, and nonjudgmental, while also being honest and direct. You can expect thoughtful questions, clear explanations, and a treatment plan with understandable goals. I want you to leave each appointment knowing what we are treating, why I recommended a particular approach, and what comes next.
