Great to meet you!

I have 31 years of nursing experience and specialize in the evaluation and treatment of postpartum mental health conditions, including postpartum depression. I also treat anxiety, depression, mood disorders, weight management, PTSD and OCD. I started out in maternity and pediatrics as my nursing career and then went back to school for my masters, PMHNP certification and doctoral degree. I have also taught nursing students in undergraduate and graduate curriculums. I believe meaningful healing starts with being truly heard. I take a holistic, collaborative approach to care—working with you to understand the root causes of your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan that supports your overall well-being, looking at medications and holistic measures such as diet and supplements in order to heal. Some of the most important nutrients essential for brain health include Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, Vitamin D Vitamin A Folate and Protein. Treatment includes evidence-based medications, therapy, supplements, and nutrition management tailored to your unique needs, culture, goals, and comfort level. I believe in managing your gut health can manage your brain health and provide you to be a better healthier person inside out. Treatment plans are individualized, collaborative, and focused on restoring stability, functioning, and overall well-being.

My approach to therapy

My approach is grounded in listening, education, and partnership, so you feel informed and empowered every step of the way. If you’re looking for a provider who is compassionate, attentive, and focused on treating the whole person—not just symptoms—I would be honored to support you on your path toward feeling more like yourself again.

What you can expect from me

You do not have to manage this alone. Together, we can conduct a comprehensive assessment to identify contributing biological, psychological, dietary and situational factors. Treatment may include evidence-based therapeutic strategies and, when appropriate, the thoughtful and individualized use of medication including the latest advancements in psychiatric care, and nutrition to support your recovery and well-being.

If you are seeking a clinician who prioritizes identifying root causes, utilizes medication judiciously, and provides clear education and guidance throughout the treatment process, I would welcome the opportunity to work with you. My goal is to help you feel informed, supported, and confident as you move toward stability, recovery, and improved quality of life.
