You deserve mental health care that is thoughtful, experienced, and truly individualized.
I am a double-board-certified Nurse Practitioner in Psychiatry and Internal Medicine with over 15 years of clinical experience providing psychiatric medication management and behavioral health care to young and older adults. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, mood disorders, cognitive concerns, and co‐occurring medical and psychiatric conditions, with a strong focus on patients managing chronic illness or complex health needs.
I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, evidence‐based medication management, and supportive therapeutic care through secure telehealth, making high‐quality mental health care accessible and convenient.
My background includes work in hospital systems, correctional settings, and home‐based care, which has shaped a practical, grounded approach to treatment. I understand how mental health intersects with real‐world stressors, medical conditions, aging, and life transitions. I collaborate closely with patients and, when appropriate, families and care teams to develop treatment plans that are clinically sound, realistic, and sustainable.
My approach is calm, collaborative, and respectful, with an emphasis on restoring balance, improving daily functioning, and supporting long‐term well‐being.
If you’re looking for experienced adult psychiatric care, medication management, and a provider who understands the full picture of your health, I’d be honored to work with you.
Hi! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

I also have a special interest in supporting clients with eating disorders, body image, and body positivity, including HAES approaches, and offer family-based support when helpful. I aim to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and supported.
