Great to meet you!

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) passionate about guiding individuals through their unique journeys to wellness and recovery. I leverage both psychopharmacology and supportive psychotherapy to help those struggling with diverse mental health conditions. Together, we will explore tailored treatment plans ranging from behavioral interventions to psychotropic medication while fostering an environment of trust and collaboration on the path to resilience.

My approach to therapy

I strive to strengthen a therapeutic alliance with empathy and a comprehensive understanding of the psychodynamics involved. Additionally, the healing that psychotropic medications can provide fosters the focus on strengths and the development of resilience. I can provide psychotherapy in addition to medication management using a supportive psychotherapy approach and an eclectic mix of cognitive, insight-oriented, and evidence-based treatments.

What you can expect from me

A definite sense of being understood and supported in their journey of healing by someone who will encourage and stand by them to continue to work towards optimal health.
