Great to meet you!

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who is passionate about providing compassionate, supportive, and individualized mental health care. I work with adolescents and adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, mood changes, trauma-related concerns, or life stressors.

My approach to therapy

I believe that feeling safe, heard, and respected is essential to healing. My approach is collaborative, compassionate and nonjudgemental. I take time to listen to your concerns, understand your experiences, and work with you to create a treatment plan that feels right for you. I specialize in medication management while also offering education, emotional support, and guidance to help you better understand your mental health and build confidence in your care.

What you can expect from me

I am committed to helping clients gain insight, reduce symptoms, and improve quality of life through thoughtful, comprehensive psychiatric care. Whether you are seeking medication management, ongoing support, or guidance during a challenging period, my goal is to help you feel empowered and confident in your mental health journey.
