I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a background in psychiatric nursing, clinical leadership, and patient-centered care. I provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and other mental health concerns. My goal is to create a calm, welcoming space where you feel heard, understood, and comfortable discussing your mental health.
My approach is collaborative, personal, and evidence-based. I take time to understand not only your symptoms, but also your history, health, sleep, work, relationships, lifestyle, and treatment preferences. Medication is never one-size-fits-all. We will discuss potential benefits, risks, alternatives, and any questions you may have before making decisions together. Treatment plans are realistic, individualized, and adjusted thoughtfully based on your response and goals.
Your first session will be a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation in a calm, nonjudgmental setting. We will discuss what brought you to care, your current symptoms, medical and psychiatric history, previous treatments, medications, daily functioning, and personal goals. I will explain my clinical impressions and answer your questions. There is no pressure to begin medication immediately. If medication is appropriate and we agree on a plan, we will review next steps and arrange follow-up care.
