Great to meet you!

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, person-centered care. I have experience supporting individuals with depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, substance use disorders, and a wide range of mental health needs across inpatient, outpatient, and crisis settings. My approach combines thorough psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and supportive therapy to help clients feel safe, understood, and empowered in their healing. I’m here to partner with you, listen deeply, and create a treatment plan that aligns with your goals and values.

My approach to therapy

My approach to care is warm, collaborative, and grounded in genuine curiosity about your story. I take time to listen deeply and ask thoughtful, meaningful questions—not to interrogate, but to truly understand what life feels like from your perspective. I combine evidence-based treatment, medication management, and supportive therapy with an open-minded, judgment-free style. And when it helps ease the moment, I’m not afraid to use a little light humor—because healing doesn’t always have to feel heavy. Together, we’ll explore your challenges with clarity and compassion, build a treatment plan tailored to your strengths, and create a space where you feel safe, supported, and empowered.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, you can expect a calm and welcoming space where we talk about what’s going on in your life and what you want help with. I’ll ask gentle, thoughtful questions to understand your story and what you hope to achieve. Together, we’ll create a plan that feels comfortable and personalized for you. My goal is for you to leave the session feeling heard, supported, and confident that you have a partner on your mental health journey.
