Great to meet you!

I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I started my career in pediatric intensive care, which sparked my love for supporting people of all ages through hard times. I now work with both kids and adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, mood changes, ADHD, autism, and substance use concerns.

My approach to therapy

I believe every person has a unique story, so treatment should feel personal. We’ll look at medication options together when they’re a good fit, and I’ll always explain things in plain language so you know what to expect. My focus is helping you feel informed and in control. I want us to work as a team toward the life you want.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, you’ll have time to share what’s been going on and what you hope to change. I’ll listen closely and ask questions so I can understand you, not just a list of symptoms. I think understanding the story is key to treatment. We’ll talk through possible next steps and decide together what feels right. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, respected, and a little more hopeful.
