As a Nurse Practitioner, I believe healthcare should be a partnership, not a prescription. My approach combines advanced clinical skills with a deep commitment to patient advocacy, ensuring every individual has the tools and confidence to take charge of their health. I specialize in creating personalized treatment plans that honor the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. Whether I’m diagnosing, prescribing, or simply listening, my mission is to make every patient feel seen, heard, and cared for. I strive to turn sessions into moments of trust, learning, and hope."

I am board certified in Family Practice as well as Psychiatry and have been in practice for 25 year. I work with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, bipolar disorder, as well as address physical symptoms or issues that may affect mental health. I hold a Doctorate degree in education and Master Degrees in Advance Practice Nursing and education.

I approach care in a collaborative and thought-provoking manner, guiding clients by asking open-ended questions and exploring potential solutions together. At the same time I focus on the feelings or emotions, helping clients to process their feelings and provide a safe space to feel seen and supported.

Seeing a psychiatrist for the first time can be stressful, but going in prepared can help. Since you have taken that major step to set an appointment, I commend you, because I know it’s not an easy thing to do. If the thought of attending your first psychiatry appointment has you stressed, you can prepare yourself by knowing what to expect ahead of time. This can be anything from coming prepared with your full medical and psychiatric history to being open to the fact that your first session may evoke certain emotions — and knowing that this is totally OK. In your initial visit, you will be asked about your medical and psychiatric history, and family and childhood history; so be prepared by bringing the following:

• a complete list of medications, in addition to psychiatric medications
• a list of any and all psychiatric medications you might have tried in the past, including how long you took them for
• your medical concerns and any diagnoses
• family history of psychiatric issues, including hospitalizations, if there are any

Also, if you’ve seen a psychiatrist in the past, it’s very helpful to bring a copy of those records, or have your records sent from the previous office to the new psychiatrist you’ll be seeing.
