Hi, I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing compassionate, personalized mental health care for adults and young adults. I believe healing happens when you feel heard, understood, and supported — not rushed or judged.

I work collaboratively with my clients to create treatment plans that fit your goals, lifestyle, and values. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, or trauma, we’ll take the time to understand the whole picture and find what truly works for you.

My approach combines thoughtful medication management with therapy-informed care, education, and practical coping strategies. My goal is to help you feel more balanced, confident, and in control of your life.

If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honored to support you on your journey.

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


I’m a bilingual psychotherapist (English/Español) with extensive experience supporting individuals living with bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety. I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University and am credentialed as a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in the state of Maryland and in Florida. In addition to my private practice, I work full-time as a Psychiatric Therapist at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, where I’ve spent years helping people manage mood disorders and find greater stability.

Living with bipolar disorder can feel like riding an unpredictable roller-coaster. Many of the clients I work with want to better understand their symptoms, spot early warning signs, and create daily routines that steady the mind and body. Others are navigating depression, anxiety, or the toll that mood changes can take on careers, caregiving roles, and relationships. If you’re ready to turn insight into action, sleep better, fuel your body, and nurture healthier connections, I’m here to guide you.
