I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner dedicated to helping you find balance and well-being in your life. My approach is centered on meeting you where you are in your journey and supporting you in reaching the goals that matter most to you. I believe in a thoughtful and personalized approach to mental health, combining effective yet conservative medication management with thorough evaluations and compassionate care. I take the time to build strong connections with my clients, ensuring they feel heard, understood, and supported. Beyond prescribing medication, I focus on education—helping clients, families, and fellow clinicians better understand mental health, psychopharmacology, lifestyle modifications, nutritional support, and pharmacogenomics. I also offer Genesight Testing to personalize treatment plans based on your unique genetic makeup. I specialize in treating adolescents and adults (ages 12-70) with a range of conditions, including mood and anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, substance use disorders, insomnia, treatment-resistant depression, grief, and adjustment disorders. My goal is to provide compassionate care that empowers you to take charge of your mental health. I look forward to working with you and being a part of your journey toward healing and resilience.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During our first session, I will take the time to understand your unique story through an in-depth evaluation of your mental health, medical history, social background, and current concerns. My approach prioritizes building rapport and ensuring you feel heard and supported. I believe in conservative but effective medication management, meaning we will discuss treatment options tailored to your needs while considering the least invasive yet most effective approach. You can also expect: ✔ Education on your diagnosis and treatment options ✔ The use of common mental health screening tools & surveys to assess symptoms ✔ Wellness support strategies, including lifestyle and nutritional recommendations My goal is to provide personalized care in a supportive environment where we collaborate on a plan that empowers you to achieve stability and well-being.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strengths as a provider are compassion, education, and a patient-centered approach. I take the time to truly listen and see the whole person—not just a diagnosis. I believe in holistic care, integrating medication management with lifestyle modifications, nutritional support, and wellness strategies to promote overall well-being. I am a lifelong learner, continuously expanding my knowledge through research, conferences, and staying updated on the latest psychiatric advancements. This allows me to provide the most effective, evidence-based treatments while tailoring care to each individual.
