Great to meet you!

I am a dual board-Certified Nurse practitioner with a doctorate degree in Advanced Psychiatric Mental Health and Family Practice Nurse Practitioner.

I am very confident in my skills to assess, diagnose, prescribe medications/therapy, and comprehensive behavioral health services. I am very experienced in treating opioid addiction and other substance use disorders with a harm reduction approach.

I am also Trauma Informed Care trained and TF-CBT trained.

My approach to therapy

I take a patient-first approach where treatment is more accessible, personalized, and effective. I want to know “what happened to you “rather than ask “what’s wrong with you “I have a deep commitment to providing high-quality care that improves the lives of my patients.

What you can expect from me

You deserve the right to heal from your past traumas- “big T or small t” that may be causing any mental health challenges for you. You deserve to live a fulfilling life and be the best version of yourself. I am here to support you achieve that in the most compassionate and respectful way. Together, we can achieve your goals because you deserve the right to heal and become the best version of you!
