Great to meet you!

I’m a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience in the mental health field, beginning my journey in 2012. I’ve had the privilege of working in both inpatient and outpatient settings, which has shaped my ability to support individuals across a wide range of needs and life stages. I provide care for both adults and pediatric clients through telehealth and in-person appointments, making it easier to access support in a way that fits your life.

I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other mental health conditions, and I’m deeply passionate about helping people find balance, clarity, and a sense of control in their lives. My biggest strength is creating a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported—without judgment.

My approach is holistic and collaborative. I don’t just focus on symptoms; I take time to understand the full picture of who you are—your experiences, your environment, and your goals. Together, we’ll develop a plan that feels realistic, empowering, and aligned with your well-being.

Whether you’re navigating ongoing challenges or going through a difficult transition, I’m here to walk alongside you and support your growth every step of the way.

My approach to therapy

My approach to working with clients is warm, collaborative, and rooted in respect for your individual experience. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable being open and honest, knowing you will be heard and supported.

I take a holistic view of mental health, looking beyond symptoms to understand the full picture of your life—your environment, relationships, lifestyle, and personal goals. Together, we develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your unique needs, which may include medication management, supportive therapy, and practical coping strategies.

My style is holistic and empowering. I believe in meeting you where you are, moving at your pace, and equipping you with tools and insight that help you feel more in control of your mental health. My goal is not just symptom relief, but helping you build confidence, resilience, and lasting well-being.

What you can expect from me

During your first session, you can expect a welcoming, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can feel comfortable sharing your story at your own pace. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and understood from the very beginning.

We’ll spend time getting to know you—what’s been going on, what brought you in, and what you’re hoping to get out of care. I’ll ask questions about your mental health history, current challenges, lifestyle, and any previous treatments to gain a full picture of your needs.

Together, we’ll begin identifying your goals—whether that’s reducing symptoms like anxiety or depression, improving focus, stabilizing mood, or simply feeling more like yourself again. If appropriate, we may also discuss treatment options, including medication, and start building a plan that feels comfortable and tailored to you.

You can expect a collaborative approach. I value your input and want you to feel empowered in your care. By the end of the session, you’ll have a clearer understanding of next steps and a path forward that supports your well-being.
