Great to meet you!

I'm a board-certified PMHNP with 6 years of experience treating adults 18+. I provide compassionate, patient-centered care, including evaluations, medication management, and support for anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. I’m committed to helping you feel heard, supported, and mentally well.

My approach to therapy

My approach to patient care is patient-centered, safe, and evidence-based. I start by building trust and creating a nonjudgmental environment where patients feel heard. I perform a thorough assessment, including psychiatric history, mental status exam, and risk evaluation. I develop individualized treatment plans that may include medication management, brief psychotherapy, and patient education. I closely monitor response to treatment and adjust as needed.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a calm, judgment-free conversation where I learn about your concerns, history, and goals. By the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of what’s going on and a simple plan for next steps.
