Great to meet you!

I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, and life transitions, and I offer both medication management and supportive psychotherapy. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and confident in the care we build together.

My approach to therapy

I believe in a holistic approach to mental health. I take the time to understand how your lifestyle, environment, and daily stressors affect your overall well-being, so we can create a plan that treats the whole person, not just the symptoms. By combining evidence-based medication management with supportive psychotherapy, I tailor care to your unique needs and goals.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, you can expect a warm, compassionate, and solution-centered conversation. I will take time to listen to your story, understand what brought you in, and answer your questions. Together, we will begin shaping a personalized plan that helps you move toward feeling like yourself again.
