Great to meet you!

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who provides integrative mental health services with personalized options that patient feels are best suited for them. I don’t just see a diagnosis—I see the whole person. Your story matters deeply, and I’m here to hold space for it.

My approach to therapy

  • My approach is to provide the best care to my patients via therapeutic alliance and education. I do not prescribe stimulant medications.
  • I have experience treating serious mental illness and Veterans in outpatient clinical settings. I specialize in diagnosing and treating Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective D/O, Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Behavioral issues, Psychosis, Grief, Emotional Disturbance, OCD, Addiction, Autism, Intellectual Disabilities, Stress Management, Dementia, PTSD, and Insomnia.
  • I keep my patient panel small, to offer open communication—so you’ll always feel supported when you need it. This is a space where your story is valued, and together we’ll find the path that feels right for you.

What you can expect from me

The initial visit is about 60 minutes to obtain a thorough history. Follow up sessions are 30 minutes.

During each session, we’ll talk through your concerns. I will check or order labs if needed, explore simple lifestyle and supplement options, and see if medication might be helpful.
