As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I am dedicated to helping you become the best version of yourself. When you're ready to leave the stress and discomfort behind, I’m here to guide you with compassionate, evidence-based care. While I believe in the power of lifestyle modifications to promote mental wellness, I also offer medication management when necessary to ensure a comprehensive approach to your care. Let’s take the first step together—schedule your session today and start your journey toward feeling better.

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

During our first session, we’ll begin with brief introductions and then explore the specific challenges you’re experiencing. This will allow me to develop a personalized plan for us to address in future sessions.

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

With 30 years of healthcare experience, I am equipped to guide you in uncovering the causes of your challenges and craft a personalized plan to help you achieve tangible and lasting progress.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I am best positioned to serve adolescents and young professionals navigating challenges such as academic pressures, career uncertainties, and emotional well-being. I also specialize in working with individuals managing parenting concerns, helping them build stronger relationships with their children, and addressing the complexities of modern parenting. Additionally, I provide support during significant life transitions, guiding clients through changes with resilience and clarity.
