Great to meet you!

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Pediatric Nurse Practitioner (CPNP), with over 30 years of experience in healthcare, dedicated to providing compassionate, mental health care to individuals. My background includes extensive work in both inpatient and outpatient settings, where I have had the privilege of treating children, families, adolescents, and adults. I believe in creating a warm and caring environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered.

My approach to therapy

By developing evidence-based treatment plans tailored to each individual’s unique needs, I aim to support their journey toward mental wellness. My approach combines empathy and clinical expertise, ensuring that my patients feel supported in a safe, nonjudgmental space. Whether through medication management, psychotherapy, or a combination of treatments.

What you can expect from me

I always start with an introductory session, where you’ll have the opportunity to share your story and what you hope to achieve in therapy. We’ll work together to figure this out! I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment that allows you to feel comfortable sharing.
