As a Psychiatric and Family Nurse Practitioner with over nine years of experience, I provide compassionate, patient-centered care to adolescents, and adults navigating a wide range of behavioral and mental health challenges. My clinical focus includes substance use disorders, mood and anxiety disorders, ADHD, autism spectrum dysregulation, and the complex overlap between medical and psychiatric conditions. “Struggling with meltdowns, emotional outbursts, or constant overwhelm? I can help children, teens, and adults with autism and ADHD gain better control, improve focus, and feel more stable day-to-day.” I have extensive experience working with individuals experiencing emotional dysregulation, crisis situations, trauma, and life transitions. I take a practical, supportive approach to treatment, focusing not only on symptom relief but also on improving daily functioning at home, school, and work. I have a special interest in working with individuals with ADHD and autism spectrum conditions, particularly those struggling with meltdowns, emotional overwhelm, attention difficulties, and executive functioning challenges. My goal is to help patients gain better control, improve focus, stabilize mood, and build skills that support long-term success and independence. I work collaboratively with patients, families, therapists, and primary care providers to ensure coordinated, whole-person care. Licensed in Florida, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Pennsylvania

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

We’ll start with a conversation about what brings you in. I’ll ask about your current symptoms, when they started, and how they affect your daily life. We’ll also touch on your personal history, past treatments, and what has or hasn’t worked for you. We’ll talk about what you’d like to achieve—whether that’s reducing symptoms, improving sleep, boosting motivation, or finding healthier ways to manage stress. ’ll discuss possible treatment approaches, which may include therapy strategies, lifestyle tools, biofeedback, or medication if appropriate.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Meeting Patients Where They Are I recognize that everyone’s journey is different. Whether symptoms are mild, situational, or long-standing, I tailor treatment to your unique needs, respecting your pace and comfort level. Blending Evidence-Based Care with Compassion I combine proven methods—such as cognitive-behavioral techniques, biofeedback, and medication management when needed—with genuine empathy and understanding. My approach balances clinical expertise with human connection. My patients value that I am honest, clear, and encouraging. I hold space for your struggles, but also challenge you to take active steps toward growth and healing.

Andrea listened to what I said and made recommendations from that instead of having a bias herself. She was respectful and kind.
