Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Largo, FL

Freud said, “Love and work are the cornerstones of our humanness.” I believe his insight was right: positive relationships and fulfilling, productive work impact our mental and physical wellness. This forms the focus of my practice. I've counseled adults dealing with relationship conflict, work stress or life transitions for over ten years.

I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) licensed in both California and Florida. I work with children, adolescents, and adults across a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, OCD, PTSD, sleep disorders, and substance use concerns.

I have a particular interest in supporting individuals with treatment-resistant depression and anxiety, autism spectrum disorder, panic symptoms, trauma-related conditions, and LGBTQ+ mental health. My approach is thoughtful, inclusive, and individualized—focused on helping each person find the treatment plan that works best for them.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is incredibly important to the process.
