Great to meet you!

I believe that effective mental health care begins with listening, understanding, and treating each person with compassion and respect. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I am committed to creating a supportive, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, valued, and empowered throughout your care. My goal is to work alongside you to develop a personalized treatment plan that supports your emotional well-being and long-term success.

My approach to therapy

My nursing career has provided me with experience across a variety of healthcare settings, strengthening my ability to care for individuals with diverse backgrounds and mental health needs. After earning my psychiatric mental health training at Touro University Nevada, I dedicated my practice to helping patients navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, and other psychiatric conditions. I take a collaborative, evidence-based approach that combines thoughtful medication management with education and supportive care to help patients achieve meaningful, lasting progress.

What you can expect from me

I understand that seeking mental health care is an important and often vulnerable step. Whether you're beginning treatment for the first time or looking for a provider who truly listens, I strive to build a trusting partnership where your goals, values, and experiences guide every decision we make together. I look forward to helping you build resilience, improve your quality of life, and move toward lasting emotional wellness.
