Everyone deserves a meaningful life, and I believe optimizing your mental health is key to becoming the person you’re truly meant to be. You deserve to live free from anxiety, depression, and fears that limit your growth and potential.

As a lifelong learner, I’ve worked in various caring professions over the years. For the past decade, I’ve focused on psychiatric nursing, where I feel I can make the greatest positive impact.

My clinical focus is to work with individuals who are seeking a holistic approach to achieving optimal mental health. Each person has a unique story, and I believe care should reflect that individuality.

I believe in teamwork and in truly listening to you. Together, we’ll decide the best therapeutic path for your needs—knowing there’s often more than one way to reach your goals.

If you're interested in a natural, integrative approach, we can explore nutrition, exercise, time in nature, vitamins, supplements, and lifestyle therapy. (If you're local to Wilmington, NC, I also offer "walk & talk" sessions at various locations.)

If you feel your current medications may be contributing to your symptoms, we can carefully evaluate them, exploring options to deprescribe or consider new, appropriate medications. My goal is to help you achieve a sense of well-being and empower you to become the best version of yourself.

I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment where you feel safe to share your story. Getting to know you may take more than one session, but I’ll be focused on learning what truly matters to you. Together, we’ll explore your thoughts, emotions, and goals, and then determine the best approach to help you move toward the life you envision.

I look forward to meeting you!
