Great to meet you!

A board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner specializing in patient advocacy, behavioral interventions, and mood disorders. It is important as a provider that patients have a safe environment to discuss mental health issues without feeling stigmatized. Patients will work collaboratively to address unhealthy thoughts and actions, work towards improving mood disorders, create healthy goals, and regain self-confidence.

My approach to therapy

I am fortunate to be able to work in a role that allows me to connect with individuals seeking solutions. I specialize in mood disorders and other areas that may impact mood. I enjoy educating and empowering patients about their health. I am very passionate about helping others in their journeys and also impacting the health of our community as a whole.

What you can expect from me

Each individual has their own unique story and needs. In my holistic approach, I will work with you to address your physical and behavioral health systems. The journey starts with a phone call, establishing rapport, and getting back to feeling more like yourself.
