Great to meet you!

I have been working in health care since 2005. I graduated from Wilmington University with honors with my Family Nurse Practitioner in 2010. While working as an FNP, I saw there was a great need for mental health providers and this need had exponentially increased by the pandemic; this motivated me to go back to school after 11 years of practicing as an FNP, I enrolled at Wilkes University and graduated with honors in 2022.

My approach to therapy

I aim to improve the lives of clients by delivering exceptional mental health care and to bring about mental health awareness by empowering clients with the education and services they need. I believe we cannot have complete wellness without taking care of our mental health. I believe in partnering with clients to help them have optimal health, which can be achieved by caring for the individual, mind, body, and spirit.

What you can expect from me

My goal is to provide quality psychiatric care in the most timely and efficient way. I believe in meeting the client where they are and building a partnership.
