Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Loganville, GA


Hello and welcome! I’m a ANCC Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) License in GA, MD, and North Dakota. I am dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care across the lifespan. I hold a master’s degree in nursing with specialized training in psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, and medication management, as well as psychotherapy.

My practice focuses on treating a range of conditions including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma-related disorders, addiction recovery and perinatal mental health concerns. I integrate a client-centered approach that may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), supportive counseling, and lifestyle interventions alongside medication when appropriate.

I believe in building a strong therapeutic alliance rooted in trust, respect, and collaboration. Whether you're seeking support for the first time or continuing your mental health journey, I’m here to meet you where you are and help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Let’s be honest—life can feel like a lot sometimes. Maybe you're carrying the weight of things that have happened to you. Maybe you're stuck in patterns that no longer serve you—feeling anxious, depressed, numb, or just totally disconnected. Or maybe your relationship is hanging on by a thread after too many fights, too much silence, or a betrayal that’s left you both reeling. You don’t have to keep going through this alone. I help individuals and couples who are feeling overwhelmed, lost, or stuck—whether it’s because of trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles such as persistent conflict or infidelity.

I believe my job as a therapist is to help tap into your most authentic self, and walk alongside you with whatever struggles there may be. My approach to therapy is direct, with the use of humor, analogies, and metaphors; I try to bring every thing together to help make sense in a world that can be confusing. Together we can tackle whatever difficult situation may be occurring in your life and get to the other side.
