Get to know me

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

In your first session with me, we’ll take the time to get a comprehensive understanding of your unique mental health needs and lifestyle factors influencing your well-being. We’ll discuss your personal and family health history, current symptoms, stressors, and any past experiences with mental health treatments or medications. This is a collaborative conversation, so you can expect to share your goals, preferences, and concerns, and I’ll answer any questions you may have about our approach. Together, we’ll start to outline a tailored plan, which may include specific evaluations, testing, lab work if needed, and an initial strategy for medication, lifestyle adjustments, and/or therapy. By the end of the session, you’ll have a clearer picture of our path forward and the support you can expect from me in managing your mental health from an integrative lens.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

One of my greatest strengths as a provider is my ability to bridge the worlds of mental health and primary care. With dual certifications as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and a Family Nurse Practitioner, I bring a comprehensive understanding of how physical and mental health are deeply interconnected. My experience working closely with adults and older adults, including those navigating conditions like perimenopause, menopause, dementia, and vitamin deficiencies, allows me to address the unique challenges that arise at different stages of life. This holistic perspective enables me to provide personalized care that goes beyond simply addressing symptoms. I combine my clinical expertise in psychiatric care with a whole-person approach, crafting tailored treatment plans that may include medications, lifestyle modifications, and wellness strategies to support each client’s unique needs. I’m passionate about creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients feel truly heard, valued, and empowered to achieve mental and physical wellness. By addressing the full spectrum of health, I aim to help individuals live with greater balance, resilience, and quality of life.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

As a PMHNP with a specialization in young to older adults, I am best positioned to clients who are navigating the challenges of mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, life transition issues, and day to day struggles. My ideal clients may be experiencing shifts related to work and school stressors, past trauma, aging, or even hormonal changes that impact their mental well-being. These clients seek an informed, compassionate partner to guide them through personalized medication and therapy strategies, with an emphasis on achieving balance, resilience, and improved quality of life tailored to their symptoms and personal goals.
