I am a dual board-certified psychiatry practice psychiatric nurse practitioner who work with women and men experiencing depression, anxiety, and burnout to have more energy, improve family relationships, improve work performance, increase sex drive, boost self-image, and feel happier and more content. While I work with patients of all backgrounds, I am also equipped to offer culturally-competent care to people of color and those of the Christian faith.

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

Our first appointment will last 60 minutes. This time allows you to fully share your story and provide crucial details about how your symptoms impact your life. I'll ask questions to uncover the root issues, understand you better, and screen for specific conditions. Together, we'll establish goals and identify areas for intervention. By the end of the visit, you'll have a tailored action plan that may include lab work, symptom tracking, lifestyle adjustments, additional screenings, and initial treatment recommendations.

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

As a first-generation American, Christian, wife, mother of two children and a pet owner, my personal experiences have shaped my mental health approach. Balancing work, family, and education, I understand the daily pressures. Treating my own depression and social anxiety using traditional and holistic methods, has given me insight into mental wellness. I believe in destigmatizing mental health and promoting that individualized treatments are essential.
