I’m a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of experience providing evidence-based, thoughtful, and individualized care.
I specialize in working with high-functioning adults who may appear “fine” on the outside but are dealing with anxiety, burnout, mood instability, or relationship stress internally. Many of my clients are professionals, caregivers, or individuals navigating major life transitions who feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break.
First session
My approach is collaborative, non-judgmental, and grounded in both clinical expertise and genuine understanding. I take time to listen carefully, explore the full picture, and create treatment plans that are realistic, effective, and tailored to your needs—whether that includes medication management, lifestyle adjustments, or deeper emotional insight.
Strengths
My strength lies in combining clinical expertise with a grounded, practical approach. For clients interested, I’m also open to exploring the role of personal values, meaning, and spirituality as part of the overall healing process, always in a grounded, client-led way. If you’re looking for a provider who is attentive, thorough, and invested in your long-term well-being—not just quick prescriptions—I may be a good fit for you.
Ideal clients
My ideal clients are high-functioning adults who are seeking clarity, balance, and sustainable mental wellness. They often come to my practice feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that interfere with personal or professional growth. I help them move forward by providing a structured, individualized plan that combines evidence-based psychiatric care with holistic strategies for mind-body alignment. Together, we focus on insight, skill-building, and practical tools to foster resilience, emotional clarity, and long-term well-being.
Treatment methods
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing is a valuable approach for helping clients strengthen their personal motivation and commitment to change. I prioritize creating a safe, empathetic space where clients feel genuinely heard. My goal is to support them in envisioning what their life could look like if they were actively taking steps toward their desired future. Through this collaborative process, clients are encouraged to identify and leverage their own strengths, fostering self-discovery, inner peace, and meaningful progress toward their goals.
Psychodynamic
I use a psychodynamic approach to help uncover underlying patterns and past experiences that shape current thoughts, emotions, and relationships.
Gestalt
I incorporate Gestalt techniques to increase present-moment awareness and help you better understand your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Trauma-Focused CBT
I provide Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to help clients process traumatic experiences, reduce distressing symptoms, and build healthy coping and emotional regulation skills.
Faith-based therapy
Faith and spirituality can be included in therapy if important to you, always guided by your preferences and comfort level.
