Great to meet you!

I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner who likes to know every patient and build a strong relationship with them. I practice privacy, respectfulness, honesty, and open communication. I am equally invested in your care just as much as you do. I look forward to working with you every step of the way for you to achieve a better mind in a healthy body.

My approach to therapy

Each session will be a review of your progress towards your treatment goals. Then, we discuss your medications, their effects, and ways to improve adherence. We also explore other treatment modalities. We will do one-on-one coaching sessions to better manage stress, conflicts, and needs.

What you can expect from me

You will feel hopeful and positive about yourself and your progress and looking forward to continuing your journey to find balance in your life and feeling better and happier.
