Great to meet you!

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 13 years of experience in psychiatric nursing. My background includes extensive work in inpatient psychiatry, the psychiatric emergency room, detoxification and substance use treatment, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), and adolescent mental health. These experiences have shaped my ability to remain calm, focused, and compassionate while helping individuals navigate some of their most challenging moments.

My approach to therapy

I have significant experience working with individuals struggling with substance use disorders, including detoxification and early recovery. I understand the complexity of addiction and the close connection between substance use and underlying mental health conditions. My approach emphasizes both safety and long-term stability, integrating evidence-based medication management with supportive, patient-centered care.

What you can expect from me

I understand that seeking mental health care can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected. I take a collaborative and patient-centered approach, working with you to develop a treatment plan that aligns with your goals, values, and lifestyle. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, mood instability, substance use concerns, or acute stress, I provide thoughtful, individualized, evidence-based care.
