Great to meet you!

I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care for adults. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, ADHD, OCD, and substance use concerns using a personalized, whole-person approach. My background includes experience in outpatient psychiatry, addiction medicine, and college mental health. I strive to create a warm, collaborative, and judgment-free environment where clients feel safe to be themselves. My goal is to help you better understand your mental health, build effective coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

My approach to therapy

I provide compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based care tailored to your unique needs and goals. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), DBT-informed skills, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care when appropriate. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, ADHD, OCD, life transitions, and substance use concerns. Together, we'll develop practical strategies to improve emotional well-being, build resilience, and support lasting change. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we'll focus on getting to know you and not just your symptoms, but your experiences, strengths, and goals. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and judgment-free environment where you feel heard and respected. Together, we'll identify what you'd like to work on, develop a personalized plan, and begin building practical tools to help you move toward meaningful, lasting change. My approach is collaborative, evidence-based, and tailored to your unique needs and pace.
