Great to meet you!

As a board-certified Psychiatric and mental health Nurse Practitioner. I specialize in children, adolescents, and adults treating all disorders. I received a master's degree from the University of Cincinnati. Currently, I am working on my Doctorate of Nursing Practice, focusing on improving mental health and quality of care. I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step

A bit about my approach to therapy

I very much like a positive and holistic approach. I think it is important to find balance in your life and it starts with improving self-esteem and good self care. I like a person centered approach meaning you are in charge, we go at your speed and things should always be comfortable for you. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step!

What you can expect from our first session

I always start with an introductory session, where you can share your story and what you hope to achieve. We’ll work together to figure this out! I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment that allows you to feel comfortable sharing and being vulnerable while also feeling secure. From there, we’ll work together in the following sessions to make these goals a reality for you.
