I’m a Doctorally-prepared Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), trained to assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of mental health conditions across the lifespan. I provide comprehensive, evidence-based care, including supportive therapy, psychoeducation, and medication management, tailored to each individual’s needs. My goal is to support you in achieving emotional well-being and improving your overall quality of life through a collaborative and compassionate approach.
In your first session with me, you can expect a welcoming, non-judgmental space where we’ll begin getting to know each other. I’ll take a comprehensive look at your mental health history, current concerns, medical background, and personal goals to understand the full picture of what you’re experiencing. We’ll talk through what brought you in, discuss possible treatment options—including therapy, medication, or both—and start building a collaborative plan tailored to your needs. Most importantly, you'll leave the session feeling heard, supported, and informed about the next steps in your care.
As a provider, my greatest strengths lie in my ability to build genuine, trusting relationships, offer compassionate and non-judgmental care, and integrate both clinical expertise and empathy into every interaction. I take a thoughtful, individualized approach—balancing evidence-based medication management with therapeutic support—to meet each client where they are. My advanced training as a doctoral-level PMHNP allows me to navigate complex mental health challenges with skill, while always keeping your voice and goals at the center of our work together.
I’m best positioned to serve clients who are ready to take an active role in understanding and improving their mental health—especially those navigating ADHD, insomnia, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, anxiety, depression, or trauma. My ideal clients are thoughtful, open-minded individuals who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or misunderstood, but are willing to engage in honest conversations and explore both therapeutic and medication-based options for healing. You don’t need to have everything figured out—just a willingness to show up, be curious about yourself, and take the first steps toward meaningful change. Together, we’ll build a personalized plan to help you find clarity, balance, and lasting stability.
Psychoeducation
Psychoeducation is a core component of my therapeutic approach, used to help clients understand their mental health conditions and reduce stigma. I incorporate it throughout treatment by teaching about symptoms, coping strategies, and relapse prevention in a clear and supportive way. This empowers clients and their families to actively participate in recovery and make informed decisions about their care.
Supportive
ChatGPT said: Supportive therapy is a fundamental part of my approach, focused on building a strong therapeutic alliance and providing emotional encouragement and validation. I use it to help clients feel safe, heard, and understood while reinforcing their strengths and coping abilities. This method is especially effective during times of crisis or transition, where stability and trust are essential for growth and healing.
