Great to meet you!

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with advanced training in diagnosing and treating a wide range of mental health conditions. I hold a Master of Science in Nursing with a specialization in Psychiatric-Mental Health and have over 15 years of experience working in psychiatry across outpatient, inpatient, and telehealth settings.

I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults, with a focus on anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and recovery support.

My approach to therapy

My approach combines medication management with education, coping strategies, and a supportive, collaborative relationship. I believe healing happens when clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. My goal is to create a safe space where you can explore challenges openly and build a path toward recovery, stability, and personal growth.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to feel supported, heard, and leave sessions with a clearer understanding of their symptoms and treatment options. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan that builds stability, coping skills, and confidence in managing life’s challenges.
