Great to meet you!

I am a compassionate Advance Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) with over 15 years of experience specializing in psychiatry. I am dedicated to supporting individuals facing a wide range of mental health conditions, including major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, OCD, ADHD, and other anxiety related disorders.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Central State University in Oklahoma. I furthered my education by obtaining a Master of Science in Nursing Administration from the University of New Mexico, where I developed advanced leadership skills tailored to healthcare setting. I then completed a Master of Science in Nursing as a psychiatric mental health APRN from New Mexico State University.

Combining my extensive education with years of hands-on experience, I provide thoughtful, patient-centered care. I create a supportive environment where individuals feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout their mental health journey.

My approach to therapy

Provide listening, empathy, support and education when seeing clients.

What you can expect from me

You will feel comfortable with the plan we come up with together and the path forward.
