Great to meet you!

I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who works with adults experiencing anxiety, ADHD, depression, PTSD, and other challenges that can affect daily life and overall well-being. I also have a particular interest in maternal mental health, PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder) and women’s health issues. My goal is to provide thoughtful, individualized care that considers both your symptoms and the larger context of your life. I also offer Christian counseling.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, practical, and focused on helping you feel more confident in managing your mental health. I believe everyone is an individual and require individualized care. I integrate medication management with therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Christian Counseling, mindfulness-based strategies, and Motivational Interviewing. Together, we’ll identify what is contributing to your symptoms, discuss treatment options, and build a plan that fits your needs, goals, and preferences.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is an opportunity to understand what brings you to care, learn about your mental health history, and discuss the concerns you would most like to address. We’ll talk through your symptoms, goals, current medications or treatments, and any relevant life circumstances. From there, we can determine whether medication, therapy, or a combination of both may be most helpful and begin creating a personalized treatment plan.
