Is your mind constantly racing? Are anxiety, depression, ADHD, or sleep difficulties making it hard to get through the day? You don't have to navigate it alone. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I work with teens and adults to better understand what's keeping them stuck and develop practical strategies for lasting change. Using evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients manage anxiety, improve focus, strengthen emotional well-being, and build healthier sleep habits in a supportive, collaborative environment.

I believe the best care starts with a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, respect, and open communication. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences and concerns.

I take a collaborative approach to treatment, partnering with you to understand your goals and develop a personalized plan that fits your life. Depending on your situation, this may include medication management, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), lifestyle strategies, or a combination of approaches. Together, we'll focus on building practical coping skills, improving your overall well-being, and helping you make meaningful, lasting progress.

Our first session is an unhurried, 60-minute initial evaluation designed to help us get to know each other and understand your goals. We will explore what brought you to care, your current symptoms, your medical and mental health history, and what has or hasn’t worked for you in the past.

I know that talking about your mental health can feel vulnerable, so we will move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. There is no pressure to have everything figured out.

By the end of our first meeting, we will collaborate on an initial, personalized treatment plan. Whether that includes starting a medication, adjusting a current regimen, integrating supportive therapy, or focusing on lifestyle adjustments, you will leave with a clear understanding of the next steps in your care.
