As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I aim to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and understood. I believe mental health care should be collaborative, practical, and tailored to your unique needs. My approach combines evidence-based treatment with real-life understanding whether that includes therapy, lifestyle changes, or medication management when appropriate. I value honesty, cultural awareness, and meeting you where you are. My goal is to help you feel more stable, confident, and in control of your mental health not just during appointments, but in your everyday life.
I prefer using multiple modalities, since each client has unique needs that may require a tailored approach. My approach centers on meeting clients exactly where they are in their journey. I work to build a trusting and supportive relationship that empowers clients to explore their concerns, overcome obstacles, and ultimately discover their own sense of peace and happiness.
I have a masters degree in psychology with a background in development throughout the lifetime. I have worked with school age, teens, and families through a school based setting. This has given me the value of supporting growth in regards to gender, sexuality, and trauma.
