I’m a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 13 years of patient care experience, specializing in anxiety, ADHD, depression, and trauma‐related concerns. I completed advanced graduate training in psychopharmacology and trauma‐informed care. I provide warm, collaborative medication management for adults and teens across Washington and New Jersey, through online sessions. My clinical philosophy is collaborative and compassionate. I believe treatment works best when clients feel heard, respected, and supported. Together, we’ll build a plan that feels safe, effective, and tailored to your needs.

Life can look really put together on the outside while feeling very different on the inside.

Maybe you're the person everyone thinks has it all together. You're responsible, dependable, and always showing up for others. But behind the scenes, your accomplishments often come with overthinking, guilt, people pleasing, and the constant feeling that you're not doing enough.

I believe life isn't only about what you do with it but also about who you would like to become. I work with adolescents and adults who want to better understand themselves, quiet their inner critic, and build more self-compassion as they navigate life's transitions, challenges, and growing independence.
