Great to meet you!

Hi there! I’m a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner passionate about helping women, academics, and busy professionals break free from depression, anxiety, and ADHD. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, unfocused, or simply not like yourself, I’m here to help you feel calmer, clearer, more energized, and more in control of your life.

I welcome clients from all backgrounds and proudly offer culturally competent, inclusive care—especially for people of color and those who appreciate a Christian-faith perspective. With dual board certification in psychiatry and primary care, a doctorate from the University of North Florida, and over 12 years of experience, I bring both expertise and heart to every session.

My approach to therapy

My approach to providing care integrates medication management with lab work, supplementation, and therapy. With training as both a Psychiatry Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Adult Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner, I am also able to help patients with issues at the intersection of mental and physical health, with a focus on food, nutrition and exercise as tools of healing

What you can expect from me

My goal is to use the most minimal pharmacological treatment as needed to achieve the best possible outcome. I want to help and work with clients so they can be the best version of themselves and enjoy their life to the fullest.
