Great to meet you!

My background in both primary care and psychiatry allows me to take a comprehensive approach to mental health treatment. I am committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care and partnering with clients to develop personalized treatment plans that support their long-term well-being.

My approach to therapy

I believe that mental wellness is influenced by the whole person—not just symptoms. My approach integrates psychiatric care with an understanding of physical health, lifestyle, stress, relationships, and personal strengths. With experience as both a Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I take a comprehensive, evidence-based approach while recognizing that each individual’s journey is unique. I collaborate with clients in treatment decisions, with a focus on supporting lasting wellness and improved quality of life.

What you can expect from me

Your first appointment is an opportunity to share your story in a supportive, judgment-free environment. I take time to understand your concerns, symptoms, personal history, medical background, and goals for treatment. Together, we will discuss factors that may be impacting your mental health and develop an individualized plan that may include medication management, lifestyle modifications, therapy recommendations, and ongoing support. I believe that effective care begins with listening and building a strong therapeutic relationship.
