PMHNP (she/her)4 years of experienceNext available

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, individualized, and evidence-based mental health care. I believe that effective psychiatric treatment begins with understanding the whole person—not simply a diagnosis or a list of symptoms. My approach is collaborative and patient-centered. I take the time to listen, understand each individual's concerns, strengths, goals, and life circumstances, and develop treatment plans that are tailored to their unique needs. When appropriate, I provide medication management while carefully considering effectiveness, potential side effects, safety, and each patient's preferences.

I do have full prescriptive authority for all non controlled medications.

I strive to create a welcoming, judgment-free environment where patients feel heard, respected, and comfortable being open about their mental health. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, mood changes, difficulty managing stress, or other mental health concerns, my goal is to work alongside you to improve your well-being and quality of life. Mental health care is not one-size-fits-all. I am committed to building a therapeutic relationship based on trust, respect, education, and shared decision-making while helping each patient move toward greater stability, resilience, and overall wellness. Currently, I do not prescribe controlled substances in the state of Kentucky. I do have full prescriptive authority for all non-controlled medications. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

First session

I'll listen first, ask thoughtful questions, and work with you to understand not just your symptoms, but your story — the experiences, relationships, and goals that shape who you are. You know yourself better than anyone, and I believe the best care happens when we're building a plan together, not when I'm simply handing you a prescription and sending you on your way.

Strengths

I stay current with the latest in psychiatric medicine and evidence-based treatment because I want to offer you options that actually work. At the same time, I approach every person with cultural humility and an open mind, knowing that what works for one person doesn't always work for another. Your background, your identity, your values — all of it matters in how we think about your care.

Ideal clients

Whether you're brand new to mental health treatment or you've been navigating this for years, I'm here to meet you exactly where you are — as a steady, knowledgeable partner on this journey. Telehealth makes it easier to show up, and I'll make sure the rest feels worth it.

Treatment methods

Compassion-Focused

I believe that everyone deserves support that feels real — not rushed, not clinical, and never one-size-fits-all. I bring both clinical expertise and a deep respect for the complexity of the human mind to every appointment, but above all, I show up as someone who truly cares about the person in front of me.
