Great to meet you!

I am a dual-certified Nurse Practitioner, holding credentials as both a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP). My professional background reflects a commitment to providing comprehensive, patient-centered care that addresses both mental and physical health needs across the lifespan.

I earned my advanced nursing degrees through rigorous graduate training, where I developed strong clinical skills in assessment, diagnosis, and evidence-based treatment. My dual certification allows me to approach care holistically, recognizing the important connection between mental health and overall wellness.

In my practice, I specialize in the evaluation and management of a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, and trauma-related disorders. I provide medication management and individualized treatment planning tailored to each patient’s unique needs and goals. As an FNP, I also bring a strong foundation in primary care, enabling me to consider medical conditions that may impact mental health and coordinate care effectively.

My approach to therapy

I am dedicated to creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered. My approach emphasizes collaboration, education, and compassionate care to help individuals achieve improved mental health and overall quality of life.

What you can expect from me

During your first session, you can expect a welcoming, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where we focus on getting to know you and understanding your needs.

We will begin with a comprehensive assessment, which includes discussing your current concerns, symptoms, medical and mental health history, lifestyle, and any previous treatments or medications. This is also an opportunity for you to share your goals for care and what you hope to achieve through treatment.
