I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who believes mental health care should never feel rushed or one-size-fits-all. I work with individuals experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, mood concerns, and other mental health challenges. My background in nursing has taught me to look beyond symptoms and understand the whole person. My goal is to create a welcoming space where you feel heard, understood, and actively involved in your care.
My approach is collaborative, holistic, and evidence-based. Medication can be an important tool, but it is rarely the only piece of the puzzle, so we may also explore sleep, nutrition, movement, stress, relationships, lifestyle, and other factors affecting your mental health. I believe in explaining your options, including benefits and risks, so we can make treatment decisions together. When appropriate, I also incorporate complementary and integrative approaches alongside conventional psychiatric care.
Your first session is a chance for me to really get to know you—not just your symptoms or diagnosis. We’ll talk about what brings you in, your history, medications, sleep, lifestyle, relationships, stressors, and what you hope will be different in your life. Together, we’ll identify your priorities and develop an individualized treatment plan that may include medication, therapy strategies, lifestyle changes, and integrative options when appropriate. My goal is for you to leave your first visit feeling heard, informed, and clear about our next steps.
