Great to meet you!

I am a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Fortitude Mental Health Group. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each individual's needs and goals, specializing in anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood disorders. My goal is to create a supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout their mental health journey. To learn more about me, Fortitude Mental Health Group, and the services offered, please visit www.fortitudemhg.com.

My approach to therapy

I believe mental health treatment is most effective when it is collaborative, personalized, and centered around the whole person. I take the time to understand each client's unique experiences, strengths, and challenges before developing a treatment plan. My approach combines thorough psychiatric evaluation, medication management when appropriate, and supportive counseling to help clients achieve lasting improvement. I strive to build strong therapeutic relationships based on trust, transparency, and mutual respect.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a trusting, supportive relationship. We'll discuss what brought you to treatment, your personal and mental health history, your current concerns, and the goals you hope to achieve. As part of a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, I'll take the time to understand your unique experiences and needs so we can develop an individualized treatment plan together. My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free environment where you feel comfortable asking questions, sharing openly at your own pace, and actively participating in your care.
