Hi! I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) based in Pennsylvania. I work with adults who feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected and are ready to reconnect with themselves and start healing from the inside out. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative — I see mental health as deeply connected to the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. Together, we’ll explore not only your symptoms but also the patterns, stressors, and life experiences that may be affecting your sense of balance and well-being. I earned my nursing degrees from Temple University and Walden University and have been practicing as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse for over four years. I believe healing happens when you feel truly seen and supported. My goal is to help you rediscover your strengths, restore balance, and move toward a more peaceful and authentic version of yourself.

Get to know me

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

Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin understanding what’s been going on in your life. We’ll talk about what brings you here, what you’ve been struggling with, and what you hope to change. I’ll ask a few questions about your history and overall well-being so I can get a full picture of how to best support you. You can expect a calm, compassionate space where you’re free to share at your own pace — there’s no judgment or rush. By the end of our session, we’ll have a clearer sense of your goals and a plan to start moving toward balance and healing.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My approach is grounded in compassion, connection, and collaboration. I believe mental health care works best when it honors the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. I take time to understand your story, your strengths, and what healing looks like for you. Together, we’ll create a plan that may include therapy, medication management, mindfulness practices, and lifestyle support, depending on your needs. Clients often tell me they appreciate how safe and understood they feel in our sessions. My goal isn’t just to manage symptoms, but to help you uncover the deeper patterns behind them — so you can move toward lasting balance, self-awareness, and emotional well-being.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work with adults feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck, and who want to take an active role in their mental health. My ideal clients are open to exploring their experiences, building coping skills, and creating meaningful, lasting change in their lives.

Motivational Interviewing

I use Motivational Interviewing to help you explore your feelings about change and tap into your own motivation for making it happen. This approach is collaborative and nonjudgmental — I meet you where you are and help you clarify what matters most to you. Motivational Interviewing works well for anyone who wants to make meaningful changes in their life but may feel stuck, unsure, or hesitant about the next step. Together, we’ll explore your goals, identify small, achievable steps, and build a plan that feels realistic and empowering — helping you move forward at your own pace.
