Hi! I am a multi-state licensed, Master's degree prepared, and experienced Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) across the lifespan. I have been an advanced practice nurse (APRN) in the Psychiatry field for 5 years. Prior to that, I was a nurse for 9 years. I help children, adolescents, young and old adult clients become the best versions of themselves.

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

In our first session together, we'll briefly introduce ourselves, discuss yours and your family's history - both medical and mental, and then discuss your specific challenges. The information provided will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. Treatment plans typically include medications, if desired, and additional actionable steps to aid in your progress.

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

My greatest strength as a provider is the five years of advanced nursing practice experience I have garnered across the lifespan. This experience has allowed me to hone and master the necessary skills to give exceptional care to my clients. My clinical interviews are methodical, as in orderly, and client treatment plans are evidence-based meaning they are backed by science.

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

I love working with children, adolescents, and adults seeking treatment to help tackle life's daily stressors, whether in the academic, social, or occupational setting. They may or may not have sought treatment before and their outlook is grim. They desire to be heard and would like help but often feel defeated, depressed, or exhausted due to lacking the tools required to overcome.
