I specialize in care for the LGBTQ+ community, people of color (POC), and Military/Veterans.

I ensure that the medication treatment plan aligns with clients' personal goals and values. I am passionate about mental health advocacy and reducing stigma, I am committed to fostering a safe, judgment-free space where individuals can explore their mental well-being and build resilience. I believe that healing begins with a strong therapeutic alliance built on trust, empathy, and mutual respect.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with introductions and then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will guide us in creating a tailored medication treatment plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Since 2009, I have provided care in psychiatric-mental health as an RN and since 2019 I have provided psychotherapy and medication management as an PMHNP-BC supporting people across the lifespan in every setting. I have developed skills to support people from a person-centered approach to meet their goals of living life at their best.
