Great to meet you!

Mental health care works best when you feel safe enough to be honest, and creating that space is my priority. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, and PTSD. I draw on my clinical training and a genuine belief that healing is possible for everyone. I was drawn to psychiatry because I have seen firsthand how much compassionate, accessible care can change a person's path. You can expect me to be direct with you, warm in my approach, and fully in your corner every step of the way. I also offer evenings and weekends to make getting support a little easier.

My approach to therapy

I combine evidence-based medication management with a genuine curiosity about who you are as a person. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all treatment, so I take the time to understand your full picture before we decide on the next steps. Every plan we make is built collaboratively because you are the true expert on your own life.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a conversation, not an evaluation. I will ask about your history, your goals, and what brought you here, making sure to listen far more than I talk. By the end, we will have a clear sense of what you need and a direction we have mapped out together. There is no pressure and no judgment, just an honest start.
