Great to meet you!

Hi there, I’m glad you’re here. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist-Consultant (CEDS-C), I support teens and women in managing anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and emotional overwhelm so they can feel grounded, confident, and healthy again. Reaching out for support is a brave step, and I respect the strength it takes to start this journey.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, relational, and collaborative. Your journey is unique, and you deserve care that honors your story, pace, and goals. We’ll work together with open communication, honesty, and respect. I blend evidence-based psychiatric care with a practical, holistic focus to support your growth and well-being during and beyond sessions. Faith-based support is available for those who wish to include it.

What you can expect from me

Our first session invites a gentle start. This is a time to share what’s on your heart and what you hope to build in your life. You’ll find a calm, non-judgmental space where you can feel safe, seen, and understood. Together, we’ll clarify your goals and create a supportive, realistic plan that feels hopeful and aligned with who you’re becoming, moving step-by-step at a pace that honors your growth.
