I started out as a registered nurse in acute psychiatric care before becoming a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. That hands on experience shapes how I practice today. I see patients across every stage of life, from children to older adults, and I focus on conditions like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I ask a lot of questions early on because I want the full picture before we build a plan together. My goal is simple: help you feel steady again, with care that fits your actual life, not a generic template.

I lead with questions, not assumptions. Before I suggest anything, I want to understand your history, your goals, and what has or hasn't worked before. I stay open to adjusting course as we learn more together, and I'm direct about what I'm seeing and why, so you always know where things stand.

Expect a thorough conversation, not a rushed checklist. I'll ask detailed questions about your history, symptoms, and goals so we can build an accurate picture together. We'll talk through options openly, and you'll leave with a clear, specific plan for what comes next.
