Great to meet you!

I am a licensed Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. My approach to mental health care is compassionate, evidence-based, and patient-centered, focusing on building trust and tailoring treatment to each individual’s unique needs. I specialize in supporting individuals with mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, and other behavioral health challenges.

My approach to therapy

My approach to mental health care is collaborative, holistic, and evidence-based. I believe in meeting patients where they are, respecting their lived experiences, and building a safe, supportive environment that promotes healing and growth. I work to ensure that care is both trauma-informed and culturally responsive.

What you can expect from me

My communication style is warm, empathetic, and collaborative. In sessions, I create a tone that is open and nonjudgmental, so patients feel safe sharing their experiences honestly. Working with me feels supportive and empowering. I strive to balance professionalism with genuine compassion, encouraging patients to take an active role in their care.
