I am a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner, providing whole-person care that recognizes the connection between mental, emotional, and physical health. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and Women's Health, and I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, supported, and empowered. Outside of my practice, I enjoy traveling, event decorating, and spending quality time with my family. I believe maintaining balance and personal fulfillment is an important part of overall well-being, and I bring that same perspective into the care I provide.
I specialize in PTSD, combat-related trauma, cult-related issues, work-related stress and anxiety, couples therapy, men's therapeutic concerns, executive and leadership counseling, clergy support, and depression treatment.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with almost 20 years of experience. I believe that healing is a process of nurturing what already lives within you. Whether you are facing stressors, anxiety, parenting stress, conflict, finding your assertive voice and boundaries or simply looking for clarity; I will walk beside you on this journey. I have experience with anxiety, life phase transitions, school related difficulties, navigating parenting, self-esteem, and family/relationship conflict. My experiences have come from working with a diverse population of individuals of all ages across settings including community agencies, hospitals, military installations, and private practice.
