Great to meet you!

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, understanding, and evidence-based care. My experience includes providing outpatient psychiatric care across the lifespan as well as caring for older adults in assisted living and memory care settings, giving me a broad perspective on mental health across different stages of life. I specialize in treating anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder, and other mood-related conditions. I work with adolescents ages 13 and older, adults, and older adults who may be struggling with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, difficulties with focus, mood changes, or the effects of past trauma.

My approach to therapy

I believe the best treatment begins with a strong therapeutic relationship. My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and tailored to your unique needs. Together, we will develop a treatment plan that aligns with your goals, empowering you to build resilience, improve your well-being, and feel more like yourself again.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and better understand what brought you to treatment. We'll discuss your current concerns, symptoms, medical and mental health history, and the goals you hope to achieve. My goal is to provide a welcoming, judgment-free space where you feel heard and comfortable asking questions. Together, we'll create a personalized treatment plan that may include medication management, lifestyle recommendations, and coordination with your therapist or other healthcare providers when appropriate. You'll leave with a better understanding of your treatment options and the next steps in your care.
