Great to meet you!

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing care for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and substance use challenges. My background in acute and crisis psychiatric settings allows me to effectively support individuals with complex mental health needs. I take a direct, solution-oriented approach while maintaining a warm and supportive environment. I work collaboratively with patients to create clear, realistic treatment plans that promote meaningful progress and long-term stability. My goal is to ensure you feel heard, respected, and confident in your care.

My approach to therapy

I take a direct and solution-oriented approach to care while creating a warm, supportive environment where patients feel comfortable and respected. I work collaboratively with clients to develop clear, realistic treatment plans that focus on symptom relief, stability, and long-term wellness. My approach combines medication management with evidence-based strategies such as cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing when appropriate. I specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety, trauma-related conditions, and co-occurring substance use. My goal is to help you gain clarity, feel more in control, and make meaningful progress in your mental health journey.

What you can expect from me

In your first session, you can expect a structured and supportive environment where we take time to understand your concerns, history, and goals for treatment. I will ask focused questions to gain a clear clinical picture while ensuring you feel heard and comfortable throughout the process. Together, we will begin developing a personalized treatment plan, which may include medication options, coping strategies, and next steps. My goal is for you to leave the session with clarity, direction, and a sense of relief knowing there is a plan in place.
