Great to meet you!

I am a board-certified PMHNP with extensive experience in the field of mental health. With a comprehensive background spanning child and adult inpatient and outpatient settings, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise into practice. Committed to providing holistic and compassionate care. I combine psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy to address the unique needs of each patient.

My approach to therapy

  1. Respect for Individual Preferences and Diversity: Your unique experiences and perspectives are essential to shaping the care you receive
  2. Recognition of Needs: I tailor my approach to ensure that your care is relevant and effective
  3. Empowerment in Decision-Making: I provide you with the necessary information and options, empowering you to choose what is best for you
  4. Open Communication: I encourage you to voice your comments, concerns, and questions. Together, we can achieve the best possible outcomes

What you can expect from me

Expect a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, determinations of treatment goals, and education about the diagnosis. Also, we will discuss available treatment options. My focus is for the client to feel empowered to treat their illness in a stigma-free environment.
