As a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, my path to psychiatry was shaped by over eight years as a bedside nurse. I watched patients face fear and uncertainty that often went unaddressed — and I knew those feelings deserved their own dedicated space. That's what brought me to outpatient psychiatry. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, and I have experience treating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, trauma, substance use, and more — including LGBTQ+ individuals and those navigating maternal mental health, grief, and chronic illness.

I believe every person has a unique story, and that great care starts with truly listening. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to you — blending evidence-based treatment with genuine connection. You'll always feel like an active part of your own care, not just a diagnosis on a chart.

The first session is about getting to know you — your story, your experiences, your current challenges, and what you're hoping to achieve. I understand that reaching out for help takes courage, and I want you to feel comfortable from the moment we begin. There's no pressure and no rushing through a checklist. You can expect an open, judgment-free conversation where you feel truly heard, and together we'll start building a plan that feels right for you.
