Great to meet you!

As a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, I provide care for adults navigating difficult life circumstances, including periods of stress, emotional challenges, and life transitions. I have more than 12 years of experience as a psychiatric nurse practitioner, along with an additional 20+ years of nursing experience in both the United States and internationally. My goal is to create a supportive, collaborative environment where we can understand what you're experiencing and develop a treatment plan that promotes both symptom relief and long-term wellbeing.

Please note: My practice does not currently provide evaluation or treatment for ADHD.

My approach to therapy

My approach is holistic and individualized. I combine medication management with supportive therapy to help patients better understand their experiences, develop practical coping strategies, and move toward greater stability and quality of life. I believe that effective mental health care looks at the whole person—including lifestyle, stress, relationships, and overall health.

I want to make sure you feel seen and heard.

What you can expect from me

During our first appointment, we will complete a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. We will discuss your current concerns, symptoms, medical and mental health history, and your goals for treatment. This conversation helps me develop a clear understanding of what you are experiencing.

My goal is to create a collaborative, respectful environment where you feel comfortable discussing what is going on in your life so we can develop a treatment plan that works for you. This may include medication, supportive therapy, and practical strategies to help manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.
