Great to meet you!

Hello,

I believe prioritizing Mental Health is key to healthy living. I am a board certified family and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with 8 years of experience as a nurse practitioner. Admitting the need for help and taking the first step to finding help can be challenging. I commend you for that! My focus has been on teen's and adults struggling with anxiety and depression.

My approach to therapy

My approach:

I like to individualize patient care, as every one deserves to feel heard and seen. It is very important to be open and respectful. On this journey, I will walk with you, I will listen to you, I will encourage you, and I will challenge you. Most importantly, I will challenge you.
