Great to meet you!

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping teens, adults, and older adults manage depression, anxiety, trauma, and PTSD. I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy in a warm, collaborative environment. My approach is warm and patient-centered, focusing on both symptoms and the underlying factors that affect emotional well-being.

I earned my BSN from Grand Canyon University, MSN from Walden University, and Doctor of Nursing Practice from Touro University, Nevada. I strive to create a safe space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered on your path to healing. Outside of work, I'm an avid reader; you can find me traveling or cooking a new recipe.

My approach to therapy

My style is warm, open-minded, and collaborative. I work closely with clients to create individualized treatment plans that combine evidence-based therapies with medication management when appropriate. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, and PTSD, focusing on understanding the root causes of symptoms while promoting resilience and self-awareness. Together, we create a supportive environment that fosters healing, growth, and lasting emotional well-being.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, clients can expect a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where they feel comfortable sharing their story. I’ll take time to learn about your symptoms, history, and goals to develop a personalized treatment plan that fits your needs. My goal is for you to leave the session feeling heard, supported, and hopeful about the path forward toward healing and improved emotional well-being.
