Great to meet you!

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over a decade of experience in mental health care, supporting individuals across inpatient and outpatient settings. Through my work, I have cared for clients with a wide range of needs, including chronic and severe mental health conditions, and I understand how overwhelming it can feel to navigate symptoms while trying to maintain daily life.

My care philosophy is centered on partnership. Treatment is not about taking over your care, but about working with you to explore your symptoms, goals, and values. Together, we develop a treatment plan that feels respectful, personalized, and empowering. If you have concerns or hesitations about medication, we will discuss all available options openly and thoughtfully, moving at a pace that feels right for you.

I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, OCD, and other mood and thought-related conditions. During the initial session, we focus on understanding your concerns, reviewing your history, and identifying practical steps toward improvement. Care may include psychiatric evaluation, medication management when appropriate, brief psychotherapy, education, and ongoing support.

I believe mental health care should feel supportive, clear, and collaborative—not rushed or overwhelming.

You do not have to face these challenges alone. My role is to help you reduce symptoms, strengthen coping skills, and regain balance so you can function at your best and move forward with confidence and stability.

My approach to therapy

My approach to care is collaborative, personalized, and supportive. I believe treatment works best when we work together as partners. I take time to understand your symptoms, goals, values, and concerns before developing a treatment plan.

I provide clear explanations, encourage open communication, and create space for questions—especially around medication or treatment options. If medication is recommended, we discuss benefits, risks, and alternatives so you can make informed decisions at a pace that feels comfortable.

My goal is to create a safe, respectful environment where you feel heard, empowered, and actively involved in your care. I focus on reducing symptoms, strengthening coping skills, and helping you regain balance and stability in daily life.

What you can expect from me

During the first session, we will focus on getting to know you and understanding what brought you to treatment. I will ask questions about your current concerns, symptoms, medical and mental health history, lifestyle, and goals. This helps me gain a full picture of what you’re experiencing.

You can expect a supportive, non-judgmental space where you are encouraged to speak openly. There is no pressure to share everything at once. We will move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

If appropriate, we may discuss possible diagnoses and treatment options, which can include medication, therapy recommendations, coping strategies, or lifestyle adjustments. I will explain everything clearly and answer any questions you have so you feel informed and involved in decisions about your care.
