Great to meet you!

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with nearly 20 years of experience in emergency nursing. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and evidence-based medication management for children, adolescents, and adults across the lifespan at UThrive Health in New Port Richey, Florida. Services are available through both in-person and telehealth appointments.

My approach to therapy

My goal is to offer a safe, respectful, and supportive space where patients feel comfortable sharing their experiences and concerns. Care is individualized, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practice, while honoring each person’s values, background, and lived experience—including spiritual beliefs when meaningful to the patient.

My extensive background in high-acuity emergency care has fostered robust leadership skills, sound clinical judgment, and a calm, trauma-informed approach to mental wellness.

What you can expect from me

Together, we will develop a thorough treatment plan focused on healing, growth, and long-term well-being. We will evaluate the best course of treatment and evaluate the need medication.
