Great to meet you!

My path to psychiatry began during my nursing clinicals, where I found a deep calling to support people through mental and emotional health challenges. As a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, I bring the clinical foundation of a registered nurse together with specialized psychiatric training. Anxiety, depression, and PTSD are at the core of what I treat, and my care is built on the belief that every person deserves to feel genuinely heard and supported. When you work with me, you gain a provider who shows up for you with consistency and genuine investment in your growth.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative and centered on you as a whole person. I take time to listen before offering guidance, meeting you where you are rather than rushing to a solution. Together we set goals that feel meaningful and realistic, and I adjust our work as you grow.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a conversation, not an evaluation. I want to hear your story in your own words, understand what brought you here, and start building a picture of what support looks like for you. You can expect a warm, open space where no question is off limits and we figure out next steps together.
