Great to meet you!

In-network telehealth psychiatry for Kansas and Texas. I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric illnesses in both children and adults. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, and ADHD. My approach is holistic, collaborative, and tailored to each individual's needs—combining medication management with lifestyle interventions, psychoeducation, and integrative strategies when appropriate.

My approach to therapy

I take a comprehensive approach that looks beyond symptoms to understand the whole person. I incorporate functional medicine principles, genetic testing, and holistic strategies to ensure we are medically and chemically targeting psychiatric symptoms in the most effective way possible.

What you can expect from me

I’ll conduct a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation focused on understanding your history, symptoms, and goals. This includes reviewing medical, psychiatric, and family history, current concerns, and any past treatments.
