Great to meet you!

As an aboard-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over two decades of experience in nursing, I am passionate about providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to individuals 18 and above. My approach centers on creating a safe, nonjudgmental space and support on their journey to mental wellness.

I integrate therapeutic and pharmacological approaches tailored to each individual’s unique needs in managing mental health challenges.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to providing care is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and a deep respect for each client’s unique journey. I aim to create a space where clients feel safe to express themselves openly, knowing they’ll be heard and supported. My style is patient-centered and holistic.

In each session, I work closely with clients to set realistic, meaningful goals and to develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with their needs.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect a supportive, compassionate environment in each session with me. My goal is to create a safe space where they feel understood, valued, and empowered to share their experiences openly. Together, we focus on building a toolkit of strategies that clients can use in their daily lives to manage stress, enhance resilience, and improve overall well-being.

Typically, clients work toward achieving greater emotional balance, enhanced coping skills, and a stronger sense of self.
