Great to meet you!

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, Navy vet., and Doctor of Nursing Practice graduate from UTHSC. As someone who has personally navigated the complexities of race, identity, and belonging, I bring deep respect, understanding, and authenticity to my work. Reach out today to schedule a free consultation—I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

My approach to therapy

I believe there's no such thing as emotionally weak. Every challenge can shape and strengthen us. I respect each person's unique cultural story, so no two treatment plans are identical. My approach blends traditional psychiatry with supplements, nutraceuticals, lifestyle modifications, and trauma-informed care to treat the whole person—not just symptoms.

What you can expect from me

You’ve been carrying too much and trying so hard for too long, in a world that doesn’t always see you for who you are. Maybe you’ve learned to hide the messy, complicated parts and feel “too much” or “not enough.” I work with Queer, BIPOC, and neurodivergent folks—preteens, young adults, parents, and anyone who’s felt “othered” or misunderstood—helping them grow in self-confidence and find greater stability. I offer a safe, affirming space to navigate anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, new neurodivergent diagnoses, and emotional overwhelm, with compassion and care that meets you where you are.
