Hi, I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and the proud owner of Synergy Psychiatry. With a focus on evidence-based, compassionate care, I founded Synergy to create a space where patients feel truly seen, heard, and supported. My goal is to make mental health treatment approachable, personalized, and empowering.

I earned my PMHNP at Wayne State University, focusing on psychiatric care, and I bring years of experience working in mental health settings. My approach is rooted in collaboration. I believe in working closely with clients to understand their goals, provide thoughtful medication management, and explore holistic strategies that promote emotional well-being.

My approach to care is collaborative, person-centered, and grounded in mutual respect. I specialize in psychiatric care for ages 6–19 and adults, and I believe effective treatment starts with taking time to truly understand each person’s experiences, challenges, and goals. I view each client as the expert in their own life, and my role is to listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and create a treatment plan that feels individualized, supportive, and realistic.

I provide thorough psychiatric evaluations and thoughtful follow-up care that goes beyond simply prescribing medication. In our work together, I incorporate medication management and supportive psychotherapy depending on your needs. I also consider the impact of environment, trauma, identity, family dynamics, and systemic barriers on mental health.

Whether you or your child are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, mood changes, behavioral concerns, or school-related stress, I aim to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood.

Clients can expect to leave our sessions feeling heard, respected, and supported. My goal is to create a calm, judgment-free space where you can talk openly about what you’re going through. Together, we’ll work to better understand your experiences, identify patterns that may be getting in the way, and explore strategies to help you feel more balanced and in control.

Over time, many clients notice improved mood, reduced anxiety, clearer thinking, and more confidence in handling life’s stressors. Whether we’re focusing on medication management, coping skills, or just making space to process your thoughts, the focus is always on what feels most helpful and meaningful to you. I want our time together to feel like a step forward, every time.
