Great to meet you!

With over five years of experience as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I specialize in caring for adults and older adults navigating a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, and schizophrenia. I bring a holistic, patient-centered philosophy to everything I do — meaning I see you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis or a prescription. My goal is to understand the full picture of your life, health, and history so that we can work together toward lasting well-being.

My approach to therapy

I believe that the most effective psychiatric care goes beyond medication alone. My approach integrates medication management with evidence-based therapeutic principles and robust psychoeducation, so that you not only feel better but understand why — and how to maintain that progress. I work collaboratively with therapists and other members of your care team when appropriate, and I draw on integrative strategies that honor the connection between mind, body, and overall health. You will always be an active partner in your own treatment plan.

What you can expect from me

Your first appointment is a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation designed to help me truly get to know you. We'll talk about your current concerns, your mental health history, your medical background, and what's been working — or not working — in the past. There's no rush, and no judgment. My priority is that you leave feeling heard, informed, and hopeful. By the end of our time together, we'll have a clear sense of next steps and a plan that feels right for you.
