If you’re feeling isolated, unmotivated, or like nothing you do really matters — you’re not alone. I specialize in supporting folks who are struggling with anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder. I deeply believe that every person deserves to feel respected and seen first and foremost as a human being, not just as a diagnosis.

I’ve seen how hard it can be to feel like your life is on pause — like you’re watching from the sidelines. It hurts. I get how lonely that can make you feel, and I’m here to show you there is a path forward.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Bowie, MD


Hi, I’m a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I graduated from Drexel University with my Master's degree in Nursing. I then completed my Post-Graduate Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have over twenty years of experience working in healthcare. Psych has always been my passion. My experiences encompass working with clients across the life span, including Child and Adolescents, Adult, and Geriatric patient populations. I’ve provided services to clients presenting with many psychiatric disorders, such as Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and more. I’m in the belief that mental health wellbeing is a priority. Human beings are resilient. Holistic care is the key to promoting better patient outcomes. Therefore, I believe that with an evidence-based practice treatment plan consisting of psychotherapy and/or a combination of psychotherapy and medication management, one will be able to control their mental health.


I’m a very compassionate, caring, and empathetic person. I strive to provide holistic care and collaborate with my clients to develop a treatment plan that they are comfortable with.
