Great to meet you!

As a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) with dual certifications in Psychiatric Mental Health and Family Practice, I provide compassionate, holistic care for both mental and physical well-being. With over 15 years of experience, I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space for you to share your story. Whether you’re facing stress, anxiety, or depression, I’m here to guide you toward a healthier, balanced life. Let’s work together toward the life you deserve.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Each person’s journey is unique, and I believe care should be tailored to you. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner, I take a holistic approach, recognizing the vital link between mental and physical health. Together, we’ll navigate challenges and celebrate progress on your wellness journey. I’m committed to open communication and support, ensuring you feel heard and valued as we work toward your goals for a healthier, balanced life.

What you can expect from our first session

In our initial session, you’ll have the opportunity to share your story and what you hope to gain from our work together. After our initial visit, we’ll collaborate to develop a tailored treatment plan, and in subsequent sessions, we’ll work together to implement it, supporting you every step of the way. I strive to provide a warm, open environment where you feel secure as we explore your needs.
