I am a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping adults and older adults find clarity, balance, and healing through compassionate, personalized mental health care. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy to address conditions such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and chronic mental illness. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to take charge of your mental well-being.

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

In our first session, you can expect a conversation that feels thoughtful, respectful, and grounded in understanding who you are—not just your symptoms. We will discuss your history, current concerns, and what you hope to get out of treatment. I will ask questions to gain clear picture of your mental health. From there, we’ll begin exploring a plan that feels both realistic and supportive—one that aligns with your goals and comfort. Clients are invited to share at their own pace. With compassion and mindfulness guiding the process, each step forward is intentional, helping you feel heard, empowered, and never alone in your journey.

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

One of my greatest strengths as a provider is communicating clearly and directly while staying grounded in compassion and respect. I believe education is empowering. Clients deserve to understand their mental health and feel confident in the decisions we make together about their care. I take a thoughtful, evidence-based approach to prescribing, always considering each person’s unique history, needs, and goals. Clients often tell me they value my direct, supportive style and the way I stay engaged throughout their care. I genuinely care about helping people feel better, make meaningful progress, and create lasting change.

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

I work best with adults and older adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to manage their mental health. Many of my clients are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or ongoing struggles like mood or thought disorders. If you're looking for someone who listens without judgment, speaks with honesty and compassion, and works alongside you to find what truly helps, you’re in the right place. I offer a calm space to talk, reflect, and make real progress toward feeling better and living more fully.
