Great to meet you!

Hi, and welcome! I am happy you are here to explore my offerings and a return to your wellbeing. A bit about me:

I am a board-certified, doctorally prepared Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 17 years of experience spanning acute care, crisis response, psychiatric nursing, and public health.​ I offer integrative psychiatric care that blends evidence-based medicine with holistic, trauma-informed approaches. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults navigating depression, anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma, grief, life transitions, and healthcare-related burnout.

Our work together will feel collaborative, grounded, and deeply respectful of your story. You can expect a therapeutic relationship rooted in listening, presence, and curiosity—where your values and goals shape the course of treatment. I aim to create a safe space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to heal and thrive.

Outside of work, I love being active in nature, dancing, traveling, cooking, and spending time with my friends, family, and my beloved dog.

My approach to therapy

My approach integrates evidence-based psychopharmacology with holistic, trauma-informed care to support individual growth and healing. I believe in meeting patients where they are, fostering trust through therapeutic listening and collaborative treatment. With experience across outpatient and telehealth settings, I am committed to delivering compassionate, innovative mental health care across the lifespan.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where they feel heard, respected, and empowered. Sessions are collaborative and personalized. My goal is to foster individual growth and healing through therapeutic partnership, scientific insight, and deep listening.
