Great to meet you!

Struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or mood changes that are getting in the way of your life? I provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management by secure video for adults anywhere in Florida, and I’m currently accepting new patients.


I’ve been a nurse for more than 20 years and a nurse practitioner for over a decade, with experience in both psychiatry and primary care. That background means I look at the whole picture: how sleep, physical health, and other medications may be affecting how you feel, not just your symptoms.


I work with people facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and PTSD.


You are more than your diagnosis. Treatment is built around your goals and concerns, and we make decisions together.

My approach to therapy

My approach to care is compassionate, collaborative, and centered on you as an individual. With over 20 years of nursing experience and a strong background in both psychiatry and primary care, I understand that mental health is deeply connected to your physical health, lifestyle, and overall well-being.


I believe effective treatment begins with truly listening. I take the time to understand your symptoms, concerns, medical history, and personal goals to develop an individualized, evidence-based treatment plan.


My philosophy is simple: You deserve to be heard, understood, and actively involved in your care. Together, we'll work toward improving your symptoms, restoring balance, and helping you achieve a healthier, more fulfilling life.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know you, understand your concerns, and take the first step toward improving your mental well-being. My goal is to provide a welcoming, compassionate, and judgment-free environment where you feel heard, respected, and supported.


During your initial psychiatric evaluation, we will discuss your current symptoms, mental health history, medical background, previous treatments, and personal goals. Together, we will explore your concerns, review potential diagnoses, and discuss appropriate treatment options, including medication management when indicated.
