I am a doctorally prepared, dual board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to providing compassionate, patient-centered, and evidence-based care. I strive to create a supportive and collaborative environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered in their mental health journey.

My goal is to partner with you to develop a personalized plan that supports your growth, stability, and long-term wellness
In my time working with patients, I have noticed two common denominators. Suffering and change. We all suffer in our own way. Wants we cannot have. Love that is unreciprocated. Thoughts that won’t leave us alone. These things are the inherent challenges of life. The magnitude of our suffering is matched only by the capacity we have for change. To change our mood. To change our way of thinking. To change the way we interact with others. To change the way we interact with ourselves. No matter the change, it starts with knowing it is possible and identifying the first step needed. Reach out today and we will take that first step.
I have experience working with individuals with anxiety, depression, trauma, personality disorders, relationship issues, and many other concerns. Using an eclectic style of therapy, I pull from different approaches to meet the needs and goals of each person. Underlying any approach is a culturally competent foundation of empathetic support.
In session, you will have a safe place to process and learn how to cope with what is happening outside of session. You will be supported unconditionally. Together, we will work to better understand the changes that are needed to be the best version of yourself.
There are times in life when we feel stuck, lonely, anxious, or disconnected from ourselves. While these experiences can be painful, I believe they often serve as powerful catalysts for growth, healing, and transformation. Earning your trust and helping you establish a secure, empowering baseline for your care is an honor I hold deeply. Over my five years of practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have found profound meaning in supporting adults and couples through their most difficult moments. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, eating disorders, OCD, and trauma. I am also fiercely committed to providing affirming care for the LGBTQIA+ community, offering a safe harbor for those seeking an inclusive, sex-positive space. It is a privilege to support people as they develop greater self-awareness, strengthen their resilience, and move toward a more authentic version of themselves.
I believe in empowering my clients by fostering self-compassion and reclaiming personal agency. If you are looking for a tailored approach that respects your story, I invite you to reach out for a consultation.
When anxiety, grief, or big life changes start to feel overwhelming, it can be hard to know where to turn. Together, we’ll slow things down, make sense of what you’re going through, and identify small, doable steps toward relief. I work especially with adults and seniors facing depression, panic, trauma, chronic conditions, relationship stress, or end-of-life concerns, and I provide a calm, affirming space where all of your feelings are welcome.
Welcome. If you’ve come this far, I imagine you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and frustrated - that life lacks in the meaning, vitality, and belonging that you would desire for yourself. Sometimes, despite our best efforts to overcome our problems, we can feel lost and demoralized. Should this resonate with your experience, allow me to share about my practice and how I might help. I am a clinical psychologist with a broad range of expertise and specialize in trauma, loss, and related problems of identity, relationships, and meaning.
Life's ebbs and flows often place us in a constant state of unrest. I'd love to help you navigate past and present challenges, fostering peace, stability, and healing.
I know from personal experience how paralyzing it feels when life sends something you weren't prepared for. I specialize in working with young adults and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, and big life changes. What I bring to every session is a direct, structured, and deeply human approach. I won't just listen—I'll actively help you build a new way of thinking.
