PMHNP, 12 years of experience
Sometimes, when we’re searching for the right provider, it’s easier to start with what hasn’t worked—feeling rushed, unheard, or like just another number. I understand that, and I strive to be different. I take the time to get to know you, not just your symptoms. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care, and I won’t offer recommendations without a real, thoughtful conversation. I am a nurse practitioner dual-certified in family and psychiatric care with over a decade of experience. I work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and related concerns, with a focus on helping you achieve lasting stability and meaningful progress. My approach is consistent and attentive—I listen carefully, remember what matters to you, and acknowledge your progress along the way. My focus isn’t just about prescriptions. While I specialize in medication management, I also integrate brief therapy techniques and holistic strategies into a medication-centered plan that fits your life. I take time to understand what’s meaningful to you and tailor treatment so it supports your long-term goals.
During your first session with me, you can expect a welcoming and non-judgmental environment where I will take the time to listen to your concerns and understand your needs. We’ll discuss your mental health history, any symptoms you may be experiencing, and what you hope to achieve in our work together. This session is about getting to know each other, so I can create a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your goals. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask any questions about the process, treatment options, and how I can support you on your journey.
I believe my greatest strengths as a provider are my ability to listen deeply and my commitment to creating a supportive, non-judgmental space for my clients. I’m dedicated to understanding each individual’s unique challenges and working together to find personalized solutions. My background in both family practice and psychiatry allows me to approach mental health from a holistic perspective, ensuring that each client receives comprehensive care tailored to their needs. I also strive to be approachable and accessible, so clients feel comfortable sharing and confident in the care they receive.
I support adults who are experiencing undiagnosed mental health concerns as well as those managing established conditions. My approach is grounded in building meaningful connections and collaborating with individuals who are ready to take steps toward improving their mental wellness. I offer a supportive, patient-centered environment for clients seeking medication management in combination with learning coping skills and exploring solutions to their challenges. Please note: I am not a match for individuals currently receiving medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for substance use or those requiring multiple controlled medications. Additionally, I am unable to prescribe stimulant therapy for ADHD, but I am happy to discuss alternative treatment options.
I utilize supportive therapy, which helps manage stress, build resilience, and improve overall well-being. I’ll focus on listening, offering guidance, and sharing simple tools to help you manage emotions, handle challenges, and meet your goals.
I use Motivational Interviewing to help explore your reasons and readiness for change. In our sessions, we’ll focus on what’s important to you and work together to create a plan that helps you take meaningful steps toward your goals.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you explore your thoughts, looking at how they affect your feelings and actions. We’ll work together to challenge negative thoughts and consider alternative ways to view things.
I utilize mindfulness-based approaches to help reduce stress and stay present in the moment. I use mindfulness techniques to help you gain control over your reactions and develop healthier ways to cope, leading to a calmer, more balanced life.
I incorporate psychoeducation to help you better understand your mental health and the treatments we’re using. By providing information on your condition, coping strategies, and how to manage symptoms, I aim to empower you with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions and feel more in control of your well-being.
