I’m a doctoral-prepared, board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who works with clients across the lifespan. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from the University of Arizona and have experience caring for individuals in outpatient, intensive outpatient, and higher-acuity mental health settings. My background includes treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, OCD, mood disorders, and substance use. I take a thoughtful, practical, and individualized approach to care, with the goal of helping clients feel understood, safe, supported, and comfortable being honest when feeling emotionally vulnerable.

I take a warm, collaborative, and individualized approach to treatment. I believe good psychiatric care should be thoughtful, practical, and tailored to the person sitting in front of me rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. When appropriate, I use medication as one tool within a broader treatment plan that also considers stress, relationships, lifestyle, coping patterns, and overall emotional well-being. I want clients to feel informed, involved, and empowered throughout the process.

The first session is a chance for me to really get to know you, not just your symptoms, but your history, stressors, strengths, and what you want help with. We will talk through your concerns in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment, and together we will begin building a treatment plan that makes sense for you. If medication is part of the plan, I will explain options clearly and make sure you feel informed rather than rushed. My goal is for clients to leave the first session feeling heard, understood, and more hopeful about the path forward.
