Great to meet you!

Welcome to my psychiatric mental health practice, with over two decades of experience as a nurse and advanced degrees in public health and psychiatric mental health.

My areas of specialization include depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, substance use dependence, insomnia, and many other mental health conditions. I am committed to working collaboratively to develop personalized treatment plans that promote healing and improve quality of life.

My approach to therapy

In my practice, I adopt a holistic approach to providing care, recognizing that mental health is intricately connected to physical, emotional, and social well-being. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

What you can expect from me

My clients expect increased self-awareness, improved coping skills, enhanced resilience, symptom relief and personal growth. Overall, clients can expect to experience a warm, empathetic, and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where they feel supported, understood, and empowered to make positive changes in their lives. Throughout the therapeutic process, I strive to empower clients with the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to navigate life's challenges.
