Through my own rocky journey in life, I discovered the world of psychiatry while searching for answers and fell in love with it along the way. That journey led me to earn my graduate degree as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. As I navigated and paved my own path, I gained not only clinical expertise but a deep appreciation for how complex and resilient the human brain can be. Now, I have the privilege of helping others “hack” their own brains whether through thoughtfully chosen medication, if desired, and/or by focusing on small, manageable steps that lead to meaningful behavioral change over time.

It is an honor to walk alongside each of my clients, offering my expertise as a tool to help pave a clearer path on this journey we call life. My approach is grounded in active listening, empathy, compassion, and a nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe being yourself.

In your first session, you can expect a supportive, judgment-free conversation focused on understanding you as a whole person. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, your mental health and medical history, and your goals. We’ll review treatment options together including medication if you choose and create an initial plan that feels realistic and aligned with your needs. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, informed, and hopeful about next steps.
