My experiences as a first responder (retired Firefighter) and Nurse Practitioner, gives me a strong background in caring for people during some of their most challenging moments. These experiences have shaped my ability to listen closely, remain calm, and look at the whole person. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, mood concerns, stress, life transitions, and difficulty with emotional regulation. When medication is appropriate, I take time to explain options, answer questions, and create a treatment plan that feels manageable and tailored to each person’s needs collaboratively with my patients.

As an experienced Nurse Practitioner, my practice is rooted in looking at the whole person, not just the immediate symptoms. I value building a strong therapeutic relationship that is collaborative with you and creating a space where clients can openly discuss what they are going through. Knowing they will be heard, supported, and never judged. To achieve the best outcomes, I always include my clients in decision making to ensure that the plan is not one I'm dictating and instead is one you actively are taking part in.

I understand that reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, and I strive to make the process feel as comfortable and approachable as possible. Initial sessions with me are simple and laid back, where you can explain to me what's going on and what your goals are for treatment. From there we can develop a plan and set achievable goals along your journey in treatment. Whether you are seeking help for the first time or continuing your mental health journey, my goal is to support you with thoughtful, evidence-based care.
