Great to meet you!

With over 30 years of healthcare expertise, I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care. My education includes a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Arizona State University, a Master of Science in Nursing from Wilkes University, and advanced certifications in psychiatry and psychopharmacology, ensuring a deep understanding of both therapy and medication management. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, or life transitions, I offer personalized, judgment-free support tailored to your unique goals. Let’s collaborate virtually or in-person to empower your mental health journey with science, empathy, and actionable steps toward growth.

My approach to therapy

Your mental health is a story—not just a diagnosis. I’m here to listen to all of it: the biology, emotions, and life experiences that make you who you are. Together, we’ll untangle the roots of your struggles—whether ADHD keeps you stuck in chaos, anxiety dims your joy, or past trauma weighs heavier each day. In a safe, judgment-free space, you’ll find more than prescriptions. We’ll craft a plan that honors your body and your values, using medication strategically and counseling to rebuild resilience. We can utilize genetic testing to personalize doses, education to demystify your care, and unwavering hope in your brain’s ability to heal. You’re not a checklist of symptoms; you are a partner in your care. Importantly, I emphasize hope—harnessing the brain’s neuroplasticity to foster healing and growth, one intentional step at a time.

What you can expect from me

Your journey begins with a collaborative conversation—a safe, judgment-free space where we’ll explore your medical and psychiatric history, your current challenges, and your goals. I prioritize empathy, confidentiality, and acceptance, ensuring you feel heard and respected from our very first session. Together, we’ll craft a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, which may include evidence-based medication (prescribed strategically to minimize side effects and polypharmacy), and lifestyle or supplement guidance to support holistic healing when requested. Follow-ups are structured to track progress, adjust care as needed, and answer questions openly—because your understanding of your diagnosis, treatment options, and the why behind every decision matters.
