Great to meet you!

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 30 years of nursing experience and extensive work in inpatient psychiatry. I hold a Master of Science in Nursing with a specialization in psychiatric mental health and care for individuals across the lifespan.

I treat depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and women’s mental health concerns, including postpartum depression.

My approach to therapy

My approach to care is thoughtful, personalized, and grounded in evidence-based practice. I take time to understand your unique needs and tailor treatment accordingly, with a focus on medication management for depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and women’s mental health, including postpartum depression.

My goal is to help you feel more stable, clear, and supported in a respectful, nonjudgmental space.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a welcoming, nonjudgmental space during the first session. We’ll discuss your concerns, history, and goals to understand your needs.

I’ll provide an initial assessment and review treatment options, including medication when appropriate, so you leave feeling heard and informed about next steps.
