Great to meet you!

My goal is to help you overcome the challenges you are facing in a safe and comfortable environment to help you improve your quality of life. My passion is helping those with substance use disorders, including alcohol and opioid use disorder, safely detox from the substances and work towards a meaningful and long-lasting recovery. With a decade of experience serving a wide range of patients I am a dual-certified family nurse practitioner and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner.

My approach to therapy

My specialties include depression, anxiety, bipolar, trauma, schizophrenia, and ADHD as well as weight management and testosterone treatment. I take a holistic, person-centered approach to care, learning about your needs and what you hope to get out of treatment to develop a plan specifically for you.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to receive compassionate care provided with understanding that everyone goes through difficult times and with a helping hand can overcome those challenges. Treatment plans are created with guidance directly from the client to ensure their goals are included with a focus on healing and offering hope to a better tomorrow and a bright future. Clients with even the highest level of needs or the most complex cases will be given hope for stabilization and long-lasting recovery.
