Great to meet you!

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care to adolescents and adults. My clinical focus includes anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma-related conditions, and substance use concerns. As a bilingual provider fluent in English and Amharic, I am committed to delivering culturally responsive care that recognizes the importance of each individual’s background, values, and lived experiences. My approach is collaborative and individualized, integrating thoughtful medication management with supportive care in a respectful, nonjudgmental environment.

My approach to therapy

I take a collaborative, compassionate, and patient-centered approach, creating a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and respected. I focus on understanding the whole person, not just their symptoms, and work together with clients to develop individualized treatment plans. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma-related conditions, and substance use concerns, with an emphasis on evidence-based medication management and overall wellness.

What you can expect from me

During the first session, I create a welcoming, respectful, and nonjudgmental space to understand your concerns, symptoms, history, and goals. Together, we develop a personalized treatment plan and discuss options so you feel informed, supported, and involved in your care.
