Great to meet you!

I am very passionate about helping my patients to get better. I have been practicing since 2016 as an FNP and in 2023 I acquired board certification in psychiatric mental health. I believe that our body and mind are strongly connected. I don't have an ideal patient except that they are open and willing to change. I believe that every person has the potential to get better!

A bit about my approach to therapy

Being certified in both Family Health and mental health made me better understand the possible causes of mental health problems. Many mental problems are caused by other diseases and this has to be ruled out before any psychiatry treatment is started.

What you can expect from our first session

Better understanding of disease process, empowerment to make best medical decision for self.
