As a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) with dual board certifications in Family and Psychiatric Mental Health, I provide a unique, whole-person approach to mental wellness. My doctoral training allows me to look beyond symptoms to understand the complex intersection of your physical and mental health. Whether we are focusing on medication management or therapeutic support, my goal is to provide evidence-based care that honors your individual story. I specialize in bridging the gap between medical conditions and psychiatric well-being, ensuring you have a clear, comprehensive roadmap for your health.

Get to know me

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

Our first session is a dedicated space for you to share your story and current challenges. We will conduct a thorough evaluation of your history, symptoms, and goals to create a clear, personalized roadmap for your care. You can expect an attentive, non-judgmental listener and a collaborative partner who is focused on determining the most effective path forward for your treatment from day one.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My approach is evidence-based, empathetic, and deeply personalized. As a dual-certified practitioner, I look beyond symptoms to understand the intersection of your physical and mental health. I specialize in creating a safe, non-judgmental environment where we can work together to achieve your goals. My results are focused on not just managing symptoms, but fostering true resilience and overall wellness.

Mary was very open and welcoming upon first meeting her today. I really enjoyed our conversation and she made me feel like she was really listening to me and not just going through the motions. I appreciate her really taking the time to understand my mental health and helping me find the right path to finding myself again.
