Great to meet you!

Hello! I am a Psychiatric NP and provide medication management services for those seeking treatment for their mental health issues. All appointments are done via telehealth. I offer flexible scheduling and accept insurance.

My approach to therapy

I have a lot of experience working with the LGBTQ community. I treat depression, anxiety, insomnia, bipolar I/II, PTSD, and OCD. I use a non-stimulant approach to treating ADHD and, in general, limit the use of controlled substances.

What you can expect from me

Expect to gain a better understanding of your diagnosis and things you can do outside of taking medication to treat or minimize your symptoms.
