Great to meet you!

Hello! I'm a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner bringing the care and empathy you'd expect from a nurse to your mental health. If you need therapy and/or medication for your symptoms, I am happy to help you. My greatest wish is that you learn to live a joyful life.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I work with patients to identify where the issues come from and whether medication, counseling or both is the right course of action for you.

What you can expect from our first session

Goals and treatment plans are made specifically case by case, based on need and your comfort level.

Open-minded
Warm
Humorous
