Great to meet you!

Hi! I'm a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. My practice is focused on empowering individuals and helping them navigate the complexities of life. I provide treatment for patients 18 years of age and older, mostly for conditions of depression, anxiety, mood dysregulation and psychosis. Let’s work together to restore balance to your life and create a positive foundation for your overall health and wellness!

A bit about my approach to therapy

I’m especially committed to providing compassionate, holistic care that is patient centered and based on your unique needs and concerns.

What you can expect from our first session

I believe in building partnerships and creating a safe, nonjudgmental environment. While medication can be beneficial in many cases, I truly believe the best approach to treatment includes a combination of lifestyle modifications, therapy, and support systems.
