Great to meet you!

I am board certified as a Psychiatric Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner with 18 years of experience as a medical professional. My background includes emergency care, long-term care, and outpatient settings. I bring an honest, empathetic, and direct approach to my work, and I am passionate about empowering individuals to become self-sufficient and courageous in their lives. I believe mental wellness is a journey toward a happier, more fulfilled self. I support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress-related disorders, and ADHD.

My approach to therapy

When providing care, I focus on your needs, your feelings, and open, honest communication. I believe every individual is unique, and care should be personalized to support your specific goals. My role is to empower you to create meaningful change at a pace that honors both your strengths and challenges. I am committed to clearly explaining all treatment options, including their potential risks and benefits, so you can make informed decisions with confidence.

What you can expect from me

I know that reaching out for mental health support can feel intimidating, and it’s normal to feel unsure or overwhelmed. You don’t have to go through this alone—asking for help is a brave and important step. I aim to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can speak openly about your experiences. We’ll start with an introductory session where you can share your story and what you hope to achieve, and then we’ll work together to identify the best path forward.
