Great to meet you!

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with two and a half years of experience providing psychiatric medication management and over ten years of critical care nursing experience in the adult intensive care unit (ICU). I specialize in treating ADHD, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and psychotic disorders in adolescents, adults, and older adults.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, patient-centered, and evidence-based, with an emphasis on creating individualized treatment plans that align with each person's goals and values. I strive to provide an open-minded, inclusive, and gender-affirming environment where every patient feels respected, heard, and supported throughout their mental health journey.

What you can expect from me

My goal is to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where patients feel comfortable discussing their concerns and actively participating in their treatment. I believe that patients should feel informed and confident about the medications they are taking, including understanding the benefits, potential side effects, and treatment goals. I value a collaborative approach, working together to develop individualized treatment plans that align with each patient's needs and priorities. By partnering with my patients, we can work toward meaningful, sustainable improvements in their mental health and overall well-being.
