Great to meet you!

I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), with a background as a Family Nurse Practitioner and a PhD, and I provide medication evaluation and management for adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, adjustment, and mood disorders. I take a warm, collaborative approach and work closely with you to understand your symptoms and goals, creating practical, effective treatment plans that support real progress. My aim is to provide a supportive, respectful space where you feel heard, informed, and confident in your care.

My approach to therapy

I take a collaborative and supportive approach to care, focusing on thorough evaluation, clear diagnosis, and thoughtful medication management. I work closely with clients to understand their experiences, goals, and preferences, and I prioritize education so you feel informed and comfortable with your treatment plan. My approach is practical and solution-oriented, with a focus on helping you achieve meaningful improvement while monitoring progress and adjusting care as needed. I enjoy working with adults who are looking to better understand their symptoms and want practical, effective support in managing ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, or mood-related challenges.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, you can expect a thorough and thoughtful evaluation where we discuss your current concerns, symptoms, medical and mental health history, and goals for treatment. I aim to create a welcoming and supportive environment where you feel comfortable sharing openly and asking questions. We’ll work together to develop a clear understanding of your needs and begin outlining a practical treatment plan, which may include medication options, education, and next steps for follow-up care.
