Great to meet you!

I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 23 years of experience providing care across the lifespan—from children to older adults—including work as a certified school nurse. I specialize in treating individuals with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma histories, and substance use disorders, including detox support. I am also a certified forensic nurse examiner, trained to care for survivors of sexual assault and non-fatal strangulation.

My approach to therapy

My approach is trauma-informed and holistic, with a strong focus on building trust and promoting long-term wellness.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a supportive, judgment-free space where we work together to build coping skills, foster resilience, and create a path toward healing and stability. My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and tailored to each individual’s needs.
