New to Grow
I’m a board‑certified psychiatric nurse practitioner who helps individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions through a warm, collaborative, and whole‑person approach. I blend evidence‑based treatment with genuine therapeutic connection, integrating medication management with supportive psychotherapy to create care that feels both grounded and human. My goal is to help you understand your mind, build resilience, and move toward a life that feels more stable, empowered, and aligned with who you want to be. If you’re looking for care that honors your story and your strengths, I’m here to support you.
The first appointment is typically about getting to know you—your story, your concerns, and what brought you in. I believe every patient is unique and deserves personalized care. I listen with an open heart and work closely with your individual needs. I focus on a safe, supportive environment where your feelings matter. Together, we set clear, achievable goals and celebrate every step toward better health, compassion, respect, and honest communication guide my approach everyday
I employ evidence-based strategies tailored to each individual’s needs. Whether you’re navigating the complexities of mood disorders or seeking support for PTSD, I am committed to providing a safe space for healing and growth.
I am best positioned to serve people who need accessible, holistic, brain‑ and behavior‑based mental health care across the lifespan, individuals with common psychiatric conditions, people with co-occurring substance use disorders, adults with complex or chronic mental conditions, specialized population- such as trauma survivors, LGBTQ+ individuals, geriatric patients, or those with specific psychiatric conditions especially in communities where mental‑health providers are scarce.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT in helping clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, understand how those thoughts influence emotions and behaviors, and then learn structured skills to change those patterns for better functioning
Motivational Interviewing
I use mindfulness treatment to help clients build non‑judgmental awareness of the present moment, so they can respond to thoughts and emotions with clarity rather than reactivity.
