Great to meet you!

I am a certified ADHD specialist (ADHD-CCSP), offering ADHD assessment and treatment in-office or online. I have taught in high school and several colleges. I also have been a cardiology nurse for the last 23 years. I've taught students, patients and families about health promotion and recovery. I love working with patients of all ages, adolescents, and adults, with ADHD, anxiety, depression, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), bipolar disorder, PTSD and schizophrenia.

My approach to therapy

I address existential and spiritual distress in our lives. I use evidence-based medication management along with helping you connect to your real self. Medication alone cannot fix your symptoms in a few days or even a few weeks. As a provider, I address your spiritual distress and existential suffering.

What you can expect from me

Finding a caring Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, who listens to you with empathy, is an essential step in your journey towards managing your symptoms like anxiety, depression, mood swings and lack of focus and attention. Medication alone cannot heal your wounds; you are wounded because you are not fully accepted in your relationship with others, or you lose connection with yourself. Let's use the best evidence-based pharmacological treatment while addressing existential distress.
