Great to meet you!

I am a board-certified nurse practitioner specializing in psychiatric and mental health care. My practice focuses on helping individuals experiencing anxiety, depression and burnout concerns. I have extensive experience working with individuals in high-stress professions, including healthcare workers and first responders.

My approach is collaborative, and patient-centered. I believe that effective mental health care involves understanding each person’s unique experiences and providing individualized treatment that supports both emotional well-being and overall health. Treatment may include psychiatric evaluation, medication management when appropriate, and supportive strategies to improve resilience and daily functioning.

I strive to create a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental space where patients feel comfortable discussing their concerns and working toward meaningful recovery.

I bring over 15 years of healthcare experience, including 8 years as a nurse practitioner. Caring for patients across a variety of clinical settings.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I strive to create a safe and respectful environment where patients feel heard and supported. I combine evidence-based psychiatric care with a holistic perspective, focusing not only on symptom relief but also on overall wellness and resilience. My style is practical and solution-focused while remaining compassionate and patient-centered.

What you can expect from me

My approach also incorporates elements of integrative psychiatry, recognizing the connection between mental health, physical health, lifestyle, and stress. My goal is to work with patients in developing sustainable strategies that support long-term well-being.
