Great to meet you!

I’m a PMHNP-BC specializing in mental health care for children, adolescents, and young adults, with a focus on ADHD, anxiety, and mood disorders. I take an energetic, collaborative approach—working closely with patients and their families to create practical, personalized plans that go beyond medication alone. With an open mind and creative intuition, I meet each patient where they are and help them feel understood, supported, and capable of real growth.

My approach to therapy

My approach to care is collaborative, individualized, and holistic. I partner with children, adolescents, young adults, and their families to understand the full picture—not just symptoms, but strengths, environment, and goals. While I consider medication when appropriate, I emphasize a balanced approach that includes education, skill-building, and practical strategies that support lasting growth. I bring openness, curiosity, and creativity to each encounter, meeting patients where they are and adapting care to what truly works for them.

What you can expect from me

In the first session, you can expect a warm, welcoming conversation focused on getting to know you (and your child, when applicable). I take time to understand concerns, history, strengths, and goals, while creating a space where patients feel comfortable being themselves. We’ll talk through what’s been going on, answer questions, and begin outlining a plan together. By the end, you’ll have a clearer understanding of next steps and feel confident that we’re working as a team.
