I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care. I specialize in treating adults and older adults with a range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and dementia-related behavioral changes. My background in both medical and psychiatric care allows me to take a whole-person approach that considers your mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During our first session, we’ll take time to discuss your current concerns, past experiences, and what you hope to achieve through treatment. I’ll conduct a thorough psychiatric evaluation to better understand your history and symptoms. By the end of the session, you can expect a clear outline of next steps, whether that includes medication options, therapy, or supportive resources. My goal is for you to leave the first visit feeling understood, respected, and confident that you’re on the right path toward healing.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am easy going, easy to talk to, very relatable, and funny.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My approach to care is collaborative and patient-centered. I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard and supported. Together, we explore both medication and therapy options tailored to your unique needs, lifestyle, and goals. I emphasize education, open communication, and shared decision-making so that every step of your treatment plan aligns with your values and comfort level.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I help clients facing anxiety, depression, and trauma. A typical treatment plan may include CBT-based strategies, grounding skills, and step-by-step goals that fit your pace. Together, we'll work to reduce overwhelming symptoms, build emotional resilience, and create lasting habits that support stability, confidence, and a greater sense of control in your daily life.
