"I believe that mental wellness is a journey that requires a partnership, not just a prescription. My approach is grounded in Relationship-Based Caring, where I prioritize 'being with' my clients to understand their unique life stories. I combine my deep clinical background with a warm, non-judgmental style to create a safe space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered.

Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, or life transitions, my goal is to provide holistic care that addresses both your mind and body. I am passionate about cultural sensitivity and enjoy working with individuals from all walks of life, ensuring that your care plan respects your personal values and heritage."

I bring over two decades of experience as a Registered Nurse across various healthcare specialties, which provides me with a comprehensive understanding of how physical health impacts mental well-being. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing (PMHNP) from Purdue University Global and hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Grand Canyon University.

Seeking help can feel overwhelming, especially when you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, or simply feeling stuck. My goal is to provide a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment, pressure, or the feeling that you need to have everything figured out.

With advanced training in both Clinical Psychology and Psychiatric Nursing from Columbia University, along with over a decade of experience in behavioral health, I specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety disorders, PTSD/trauma, and substance use disorders. I understand that symptoms rarely exist in isolation, which is why I take the time to understand the whole person—not just a diagnosis or a list of symptoms.

I believe the best outcomes happen when treatment feels like a true partnership. You bring your lived experience, and I bring clinical expertise, guidance, and support. Together, we'll work to understand the patterns behind your struggles, identify what's keeping you stuck, and develop a personalized plan that helps you move toward the life you want to live.

Whether you're looking for therapy, medication management, or a combination of both, my approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs. My goal is not only to help you feel better in the short term, but to help you build lasting insight, resilience, and confidence so that you can continue thriving long after our work together.
