Great to meet you!

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing evidence-based psychiatric evaluation and medication management for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, and life transitions.

My approach is inquisitive, direct, and empowering. I take time to understand the full picture and work with you to create a clear, practical treatment plan that aligns with your goals.

I often work with high-performing adults and parents balancing demanding careers and responsibilities, and I have a strong interest in supporting Black and Brown individuals in a way that respects their lived experiences.

My goal is to provide thoughtful, collaborative care that helps you feel more in control and make meaningful, lasting progress.

My approach to therapy

I provide thoughtful, collaborative medication management, making sure you understand your options and feel confident in your care. My goal is to help you feel more in control, focused, and balanced, not just manage symptoms.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a comprehensive evaluation focused on understanding your symptoms, history, and what’s currently impacting your daily life. I’ll ask thoughtful questions to get a clear picture and identify patterns that may be contributing to how you’re feeling.

We’ll also begin discussing a treatment plan, which may include medication options, lifestyle factors, and next steps. I’ll make sure you understand your options and feel comfortable moving forward.

My goal is for you to leave the first session with clarity, a sense of direction, and a plan that feels practical and tailored to you.

I aim to create a space that is calm, respectful, and focused.
