Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Virginia


As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) from Walden University, I am deeply passionate about delivering patient-centered care and committed to advocating for individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures. With over eight years of experience working with patients, families, and communities affected by mental illness, I have developed a profound understanding of the importance of compassionate and individualized care.

My professional journey began as a registered nurse, where I came to realize that mental illness is no respecter of person, age, color, or social status. This experience reinforced my belief that every individual facing mental health challenges deserves a patient-centered, personalized, and holistic approach to their care.

As a PMHNP, my goal is to serve as a source of strength and support through active listening, empathy, and compassion. I strive to provide an evidence-based approach tailored to each patient’s specific needs, ensuring that every individual feels heard, valued, and empowered on their path to wellness.

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


Welcome—I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a licensed therapist offering telehealth-only sessions for individuals seeking support with their mental health and overall wellbeing.

I integrate evidence-based modalities including CBT, DBT, CPT, Mindfulness, ACT, and MI with trauma focused and trauma-informed practices.

In addition to talk therapy, I incorporate bottom-up expressive arts practices to help clients reconnect with themselves, regulate their nervous system, and build resilience. Creative approaches—like movement, imagery, music, and art—can open up new ways of processing feelings that words alone sometimes can’t reach. As well as increase the capacity to experience joy and happiness once more.
