I am a dual board-certified nurse practitioner specializing in psychiatric mental health and family medicine, with over 10 years of combined experience. My approach is very patient-centered because I believe it's important for you to feel comfortable and involved with your treatment plan to get the best results. Your personalized plan could include medication, lifestyle changes, education, and counseling. I always make sure to present different options so that you can be fully informed and choose what works best for you.

Get to know me

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

In your first session with me, we’ll start with brief introductions before diving into your current concerns and medical history, and discuss your goals.

I’m flexible in my approach and always focused on providing the best care for my patients. If you want someone who listens and strives to understand you, and who also provides a treatment plan that feels right for you and includes your input every step of the way, I’m here to help.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I’m here to support anyone seeking a personalized approach to their mental health. Whether you're dealing with ADHD, anxiety, depression, or just need some guidance, I focus on working with you to create a plan that fits your needs and goals.

My treatment methods

Psychoeducation

Psychoeducation is all about helping patients and their families understand mental health conditions, treatment options, and how to cope with challenges. I use it to explain diagnoses, help patients manage their symptoms, and stick to their treatment plans. By breaking down stigma and making things easier to understand, psychoeducation helps patients feel more involved in their care and leads to better outcomes.
