Great to meet you!

Accepting New Patients.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or stuck in a cycle of depression that talk therapy alone hasn't quite reached? Finding the right balance with medication shouldn't feel like a clinical transaction. I provide a compassionate, evidence-based approach to psychiatry that looks at you as a whole person, not just a list of symptoms.

In my free time, I enjoy getting to know people and their history and about their culture. I also enjoy reading everything from historical novels to autobiographies.

My approach to therapy

My approach begins with what is already right within you. I believe in honoring your strengths, resilience, and lived experiences, and using those as the foundation for care. Together, we take a collaborative, strengths-based approach—creating a medication plan that feels supportive, empowering, and tailored to your unique needs and goals.

What you can expect from me

As a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I specialize in bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and PTSD. My practice is built on the belief that medication is a tool—not the only answer—to help stabilize your foundation so you can do the deeper work of healing.
