I believe mental health care should be personal, collaborative, and focused on the whole person—not just a diagnosis or a list of symptoms. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and actively involved in decisions about your care.

As a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with advanced training in integrative and functional psychiatry, I combine evidence-based psychiatric care with a broader exploration of factors that may influence mental health. This can include medical history, nutrition, sleep, lifestyle, stress, genetics, medication response, and other biological or environmental contributors.

I believe you should have choices in your treatment. Medication may be an important part of care, but it is not automatically the only answer. Together, we will look at the bigger picture, discuss your options, and develop an individualized plan that makes sense for you and your goals.

My approach to mental health care is integrative, individualized, and collaborative. I look beyond symptoms and diagnoses to understand the whole person and explore factors that may be contributing to how you feel.

Along with evidence-based psychiatric care, I consider areas such as nutrition, sleep, lifestyle, stress, medical conditions, genetics, medication response, and potential underlying imbalances that can influence mental well-being.

I believe treatment should be something we do together. You should understand your options and have a voice in your care. Medication can be an important tool when appropriate, but it is only one part of a much bigger picture. My goal is to help identify contributing factors, address them when possible, and create a personalized treatment plan that supports lasting mental and overall well-being.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to slow down and look at the full picture. I’ll take time to learn about your current concerns, mental health history, medical history, medications, sleep, nutrition, lifestyle, stressors, and other factors that may be affecting how you feel.

My goal is for you to feel heard and comfortable asking questions. We’ll discuss what has and hasn’t worked for you in the past, what you hope to improve, and what options may fit your needs. Depending on your situation, we may also discuss laboratory testing, pharmacogenomic testing, lifestyle or nutritional factors, therapy, medications, or other supportive approaches.

You can expect a collaborative process—not a one-size-fits-all treatment plan. Together, we’ll begin developing an individualized approach that reflects your goals, preferences, and overall well-being.
