Great to meet you!

I I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN). My passion lies in helping individuals of all ages—from children and adolescents to adults and older adults—navigate their mental health journey. I specialize in the treatment of Mood, Anxiety, Substance use , Traumatic and Psychotic disorders.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I believe in the provision of evidenced-based care that is inclusive of psychotherapy alone or psychotherapy with medication management, With experience in treating a wide range of conditions such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, and more, I bring a holistic, patient-centered approach to care.

What you can expect from our first session

I strive to create a welcoming and judgment-free environment where you can feel safe and supported, no matter where you are in your mental health journey. I believe that every challenge, including past unsuccessful treatments, is an opportunity for growth and healing. By truly listening to your concerns and collaborating with you, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and goals, helping you move forward toward recovery and well-being.
