Great to meet you!

I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner with seven years of hands-on experience in inpatient psychiatry — working with patients of all ages, from children to older adults. Now, I'm bringing that clinical depth to outpatient and telehealth care, so you can access thoughtful, personalized psychiatric support. I take the time to understand your full picture before making any recommendations, and I'm here to help you feel supported whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, or something more complex.

My approach to therapy

I bring warmth and directness to every session. I'll ask real questions, listen carefully, and meet you where you are. My goal isn't just symptom management — it's helping you understand what's happening so you can take an active role in your own care.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a real conversation — not a checklist. I'll ask about your history, your goals, and what's been getting in the way. By the end, you'll have a clear sense of where we're headed and what plan works best for you.
