Great to meet you!

From an early age, I was drawn to the intricate tapestry of the human mind. This passion led me to pursue a career in Psychiatry, where I have dedicated myself to understanding and addressing the diverse challenges that individuals face in their mental health journeys. I earned my bachelor’s degree in science and nursing from the UWM in 2005, and in 2007 I completed my master’s degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner, followed by a Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.
