Great to meet you!

Nice to meet you!

As a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, I believe in the importance of prioritizing your mental health—it's vital to your overall well-being! With 16 years of nursing experience, I've gained the privilege of working with children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. Recently, my focus has been on helping adults and older adults facing challenges like substance abuse, depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder.

My approach to therapy

Everyone is unique. My approach is individualized. Please feel free to discuss anything with me. Communication is the foundation. I'm here to strengthen you, lend a listening ear, and support you. I will provide a strong support system to help you along your journey.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, I want you to feel that I have created a safe and nonjudgmental environment. You will be treated with respect. Our goal is to get to know each other better. Please share your story and goals with me so we can work together towards them in our next session.
