I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma-related conditions through a combination of medication management and practical therapeutic approaches like CBT. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and empowered to improve their mental health and overall well-being.

Get to know me

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

In your first session, you can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where we take time to understand your concerns, history, and goals. I will complete a thorough assessment and ask questions about your symptoms, medical history, and current challenges. Together, we will begin developing a personalized treatment plan, which may include medication, therapy strategies, or both, with clear goals focused on improving your symptoms and daily functioning.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

What stands out about my approach is the integration of medication management with practical, results-driven therapy techniques like CBT. I focus on helping clients see measurable improvements in symptoms while also building long-term skills for emotional regulation, focus, and resilience. My style is collaborative, structured, and goal-oriented, ensuring clients leave sessions with clear strategies they can apply in their daily lives.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am best positioned to serve individuals dealing with mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, and trauma-related concerns who are motivated to improve their functioning and overall quality of life. I work well with clients who are open to a collaborative, goal-oriented approach and are interested in combining medication management with practical therapeutic strategies like CBT. My focus is on helping clients develop coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and achieve stability in both personal and professional aspects of their lives.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have experience integrating cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into my practice alongside medication management. I use CBT techniques such as cognitive restructuring, behavioral activation, and coping skills training to help clients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. My approach is brief and structured, focusing on practical strategies that clients can apply in daily life to improve symptoms and overall functioning.
