Great to meet you!

I'm a certified nurse practitioner of 10 years. I've been caring for patients with psychiatric conditions for the past 5 years. My goal is to create a space where you can be open, honest, and as expressive as you need to be.

My approach to therapy

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each person. I use evidence-based methods like supportive therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Brief-Focused Therapy. I also integrate mindfulness and motivational interviewing when helpful. Above allI focus on building trust and creating a space where patients feel heard, understood, and empowered to heal.

What you can expect from me

I always want my patients to feel respected and supported. You'll be encouraged to be an active participant in your care. My goal is always to learn what matters most to you– your strengths, challenges, background, and the life experiences that have shaped who you are. As a clinician, my approach is thorough, but flexible. I provide comprehensive and evidence-based psychiatric evaluations, but I also give you space to share your story at your own pace. What's most important is that you feel comfortable opening up in a way that works best for you. Together we will build a treatment plan that reflects your goals and empowered you to grow, heal, and become your best self.
