Hi! I’m not just another provider who rushes through appointments, forgets your name, or treats you like a number. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to mental health, and I won’t push medication without a conversation. I am a nurse practitioner dual-certified in family and psychiatric care, practicing since 2013. I work with adults facing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and more—not just to manage symptoms, but to find real stability and progress. I will listen, remember your story, and celebrate your wins. My approach isn’t just about prescriptions. While I specialize in medication management, I also integrate therapy techniques and holistic strategies to create a plan that fits your life. Mental health care should be personal, and that’s exactly what I offer. You deserve a provider who sees you—not just your diagnosis.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
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.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
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.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I am well-suited to support adults dealing with undiagnosed mental health symptoms as well as those managing an existing condition. My approach is built on building meaningful connections and tailored to individuals who are ready to work collaboratively toward improving their mental wellness. I provide a supportive and patient-centered environment for clients who are looking for medication management coupled with a desire to learn coping skills and find solutions to their unique challenges.
