Great to meet you!

Building a private practice has always been part of my plan. I committed to serving my community when I finished my training, and that mission drives everything I do. As a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with years of clinical experience, I bring care that meets patients where they are, through telehealth or in person. I know how hard it can be to find a psychiatric provider who accepts your insurance and truly listens. My goal is to make that easier. I work with adults who are ready to get the support they deserve, and I am here to help you take that first step.

My approach to therapy

I approach care as a partnership. Together, we look at what you are experiencing across your whole life, not just your symptoms, and we build a plan that fits your goals. I believe everyone deserves access to quality psychiatric care, and I am committed to providing that in a space where you feel heard and respected.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is about getting to know you. I will ask about your history, your current challenges, and what you are hoping to get from care. You do not need to have all the answers. Just come as you are, and we will figure out the next steps together.
