Great to meet you!

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner providing evidence-based care for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, and life transitions. My approach combines thoughtful medication management with supportive strategies that help clients better understand their mental health and build practical tools for daily life.

In addition to my clinical work, I am an author and whole-body wellness advocate. My book, BePurBold: A Woman’s Journey to Whole Body Wellness, reflects my belief that mental health is closely connected to lifestyle, resilience, and overall well-being. I strive to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and empowered in their care.

My approach to therapy

My approach to care is collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based. I work closely with clients to understand their concerns, goals, and lived experiences in order to develop an individualized treatment plan that may include medication management, supportive therapy, and practical coping strategies.

I also recognize the connection between mental health and overall well-being, including lifestyle factors such as stress, sleep, nutritional psychiatry and daily habits. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients feel supported while working toward greater stability, clarity, and long-term wellness.

What you can expect from me

During the first session, we will focus on getting to know you and understanding what brought you to seek care. I will ask questions about your current concerns, mental health history, lifestyle, and treatment goals to gain a comprehensive picture of your needs.

Together, we will discuss potential treatment options, which may include medication management, therapy-based strategies, or lifestyle adjustments. My goal is to ensure you feel heard, comfortable, and supported while we begin developing a plan tailored to your individual needs.
