Great to meet you!

Hi! I’m a dual-certified Nurse Practitioner in Psychiatry (PMHNP) and Family Medicine (FNP), and I believe taking care of your mental health is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. Reaching out isn’t always easy, so if you’re here, you’ve already taken a big first step and that matters.

I also bring the perspective of a former Division I athlete, which gave me a real understanding of what it’s like to carry pressure, high expectations, and the constant push to succeed. It’s something many of my clients relate to even if they don’t come from an athletic background.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in medication management for adolescents and adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, or the stress of just trying to do it all. My approach is supportive but honest. I’ll meet you where you are, create space for you to be yourself, and yes, I’ll push you when it’s time. Growth takes work, and we’ll do it together.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is all about getting to know you. We’ll talk about what’s going on and what you’re hoping to get out of this. No pressure to have it all figured out. We’ll build a plan that feels doable and centered around you. Visits focus on diagnosis and medication treatment with supportive discussion and psychoeducation.

**Medication management appointments with brief psychotherapy only available at this time
