Great to meet you!

I am a dual-certified Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with experience in adult and geriatric psychiatry. As a provider, I focus on building strong therapeutic relationships and creating a supportive environment where patients feel heard, valued, and motivated to engage in their treatment plans.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I draw on my background in social work to provide comprehensive and empathetic mental health care, taking into account the interconnected physical and emotional well-being of my patients. This approach allows me to provide personalized and attentive support to people seeking mental health care services.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect a comprehensive evaluation that includes discussing their medical and psychiatric history, current symptoms, and overall health. I will assess the client's needs and collaboratively develop an individualized treatment plan.
