You’re exhausted, but your mind won’t shut off.

Maybe you lie awake thinking about everything you need to do tomorrow—or wake up in the middle of the night and can’t get back to sleep. During the day, you may feel anxious, overwhelmed, irritable, unfocused, or simply unlike yourself. When poor sleep and anxiety start feeding into each other, it can be difficult to know where one problem ends and the other begins.

I’m a psychiatric mental-health nurse practitioner who works with adults experiencing anxiety, insomnia and other sleep problems, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, panic, mood changes, and other mental health concerns. Sleep and anxiety are particular areas of focus in my practice.

My approach is collaborative and practical. I’ll take the time to understand what you’re experiencing, how it affects your daily life, what you’ve already tried, and what you want to be different. Together, we’ll look at the whole picture and develop a treatment plan that fits your needs.

I provide psychiatric evaluation and medication management, with therapy incorporated when appropriate. I want you to understand your treatment options so we can make decisions together.

If you’re struggling with sleep, anxiety, mood, focus, or simply don’t feel like yourself, schedule an initial visit. We’ll start by figuring out what’s happening and what may help.

I believe good psychiatric care starts with listening. I want to understand not only your symptoms, but also your sleep, stress, relationships, physical health, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t worked for you in the past.

My style is warm, straightforward, and collaborative. Medication management is an important part of the care I provide, and I’ll take the time to explain my recommendations, answer your questions, and discuss the benefits and potential drawbacks of your options. When helpful, I also incorporate therapy into our visits to support your overall treatment.

My goal is for you to leave our visits feeling heard, informed, and clear about the plan moving forward.

At your first visit, we’ll take time to understand what brought you in and what you’d like to improve. We’ll talk about your symptoms, sleep, mood, anxiety, attention, health history, medications, and other factors that may be affecting how you feel.

From there, we’ll develop a treatment plan together. Medication management will be part of your care, and I’ll explain my recommendations so you understand what we’re treating, why I’m recommending a particular approach, and what to expect.

You can expect our visits to be collaborative and comfortable. I want you to feel comfortable asking questions, sharing concerns, and telling me when something isn’t working. Treatment is a process, and we’ll continue to evaluate your progress and adjust the plan as needed.
