Great to meet you!

Hello and welcome—I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner with years of experience in outpatient psychiatry, caring for young and older adults. I take a warm, down-to-earth approach and truly enjoy getting to know the whole person, not just the diagnosis. I specialize in holistic psychiatry, supporting conditions like ADHD, schizophrenia, anxiety, and mood disorders with thoughtful, personalized care. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and confident as we work together toward better mental health.

My approach to therapy

My approach to care is collaborative, compassionate, and person-centered. I take time to listen, understand your experiences, and work with you to create a treatment plan that fits your life, values, and goals. I focus on holistic psychiatry, combining evidence-based medication management with attention to lifestyle, stress, sleep, and overall well-being. I strive to create a calm, supportive space where you feel respected and empowered.

What you can expect from me

In your first session, you can expect a calm, welcoming, and judgment-free space where your concerns are truly heard. We will talk about your current symptoms, personal history, and what you hope to gain from treatment. Together, we’ll set clear and realistic goals and begin building a plan that supports both your mental and overall well-being. My goal is for you to leave the session feeling understood, informed, and hopeful about the next steps.
