Great to meet you!

My professional background includes experience in psychiatric mental health, telehealth services, patient advocacy, care coordination behavior health counseling, and nursing leadership. Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of healthcare settings, providing psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive counseling. My leadership experience has also strengthened my ability to coordinate comprehensive, patient-centered care and collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary healthcare teams. I serve adolescents, adults, and older adults and strive to create a welcoming, respectful, and culturally sensitive environment where clients feel comfortable discussing their concerns. My goal is to help clients improve their emotional well-being, develop healthy coping strategies, and achieve meaningful progress in their mental health journey.

My approach to therapy

I believe in treating the whole person, not just symptoms. My approach focuses on understanding each client's unique experiences, concerns, strengths, and goals. I work collaboratively with clients to develop individualized treatment plans that may include medication management, supportive therapy, education, and lifestyle recommendations.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to be treated with respect, empathy, and confidentiality. I value open communication and encourage clients to actively participate in their treatment decisions. My goal is to help individuals improve their mental health, build resilience, and achieve a better quality of life. I strive to create a safe space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout your journey toward wellness.
