Great to meet you!

Understanding mental health and taking a holistic approach is an essential part of my practice. I am a Board Certified Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 18 years of experience in mental health with 8 years as an NP specializing in child and adolescent mental health. I am proficient with treating people of all ages.

My approach to therapy

In my practice, I use an individualized approach rather than using an umbrella approach. My clients have a great part in developing their own treatment goals that are tailored to their own specific needs. I do secure telehealth appointments that allow the clients to join the virtual meeting no matter where they are. I use the empathic approach to build therapeutic relationships with my clients to improve their overall quality of life.

What you can expect from me

With all the current challenges in this world, mental illness is not a choice, but recovery is.

My years of working closely with clients in a diverse population has given me the opportunity to see life through their eyes and be able to have a personal connection with the person behind the struggle.

I look forward to meeting you and seeing how I can help alleviate the struggles you or your child is experiencing.
