Great to meet you!

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 14 years of healthcare experience. I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care for adolescents, adults, and older adults experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, OCD, PTSD, sleep difficulties, substance use concerns, and other mental health challenges. Treatment may include psychiatric evaluation, medication management, supportive therapy, or a combination based on your individual needs and preferences. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you feel heard, understood, and respected.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, personalized, and centered on your individual needs. I take time to understand your symptoms, experiences, concerns, strengths, and goals before developing a treatment plan with you. I believe you should understand your treatment options and feel comfortable asking questions, so we can make informed decisions together. Whether treatment includes medication management, supportive therapy, or both, my goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that supports meaningful and lasting improvement in your mental well-being.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, we'll take time to get to know one another and discuss what has brought you to treatment and what you hope to achieve. I'll ask about your current symptoms, medical and mental health history, medications, lifestyle, and other factors that may be affecting your well-being. Together, we'll discuss your concerns, possible treatment options, and develop a personalized plan that may include medication management, supportive therapy, or both. My priority is to create a comfortable, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, respected, and involved in decisions about your care.
