I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with nearly 20 years of nursing experience. I provide thoughtful, evidence-based care for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-related symptoms, mood concerns, and sleep difficulties. I genuinely enjoy hearing each person’s story and understanding the experiences that have shaped who they are. My goal is to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change in your life.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and holistic. I look beyond symptoms to understand how your health, relationships, environment, culture, and life experiences may be affecting your mental well-being. We will discuss treatment options openly and create a plan that reflects your needs, preferences, and goals. When medication is appropriate, I combine careful medication management with education and supportive, solution-focused strategies.
Your first session will be a welcoming, judgment-free conversation where you can share your story at a pace that feels comfortable. We will review your current concerns, medical and mental health history, medications, strengths, and what you hope will improve. I will explain my clinical impressions and treatment options in clear, understandable language. By the end of the visit, we will have an initial plan that we created together, along with clear next steps.
