As a doctoral-prepared, dual board-certified psychiatric mental health and adult gerontology acute care nurse practitioner, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to self-care, happiness and success. Congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for several years with my main focus on clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression and PTSD.
Taking the step to seek mental health support can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to do it alone.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) providing compassionate, patient-centered care to individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, and complex mental health needs.
I have experience working across high-acuity hospital settings, partial hospitalization programs, and community-based care, which allows me to support individuals through both everyday challenges and more complex clinical situations. My goal is to create a calm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and respected.
I am a licensed APRN ,PMHNP with training in both general medicine and psychiatry, offering a comprehensive and integrative approach to patient care. My background allows me to understand the close connection between physical health and mental well-being, and I strive to treat each patient as a whole person rather than focusing on isolated symptoms.
I completed my medical training in general medicine and later specialized in psychiatry, gaining experience in diagnosing and managing a wide range of medical and mental health conditions. My clinical approach combines evidence-based treatments with a compassionate, patient-centered perspective.
I specialize in mood disorders (including depression and bipolar disorder), anxiety (generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety), and trauma-related conditions including PTSD. I am deeply committed to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health — and I understand firsthand how shame and silence can stand in the way of healing and daily functioning. Outside of work, I'm a parent who enjoys going to the pool and playing board games with my children, which keeps me grounded in the everyday joys that matter most.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner proudly serving clients across Florida. With over 18 years of combined healthcare experience, I am passionate about helping individuals reclaim their mental wellness through collaborative, individualized care.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Clearwater
Finding the right psychiatrist in Clearwater starts with understanding the type of care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and monitor how that medication is working over time. If you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or PTSD, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP) may be the right fit. Some providers also offer talk therapy alongside medication management, though many focus primarily on prescribing.
With many mental health providers practicing across the Clearwater and greater Tampa Bay area, narrowing your search can take time. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider who specializes in a specific condition, offers virtual appointments, or is located near your neighborhood in Largo, Safety Harbor, or Pinellas Park. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before you book.
Psychiatry in Clearwater can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a psychiatrist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
