Hello! I want to start by letting you know that I’m here to listen and support you—you're not alone in this. Taking the first step is a huge accomplishment, and there are many resources and people ready to help you on your journey to mental wellness. Throughout this process, we can explore different strategies that may work best for you. Psychiatric medication management is all about making sure the right medications are prescribed and properly monitored to help manage mental health conditions. It starts with assessing the person’s needs, then prescribing the right meds based on their symptoms and history. Mindfulness, meditation, and relaxation techniques can help you stay grounded, while cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) methods can support reframing negative thought patterns. Small, achievable goals, along with regular physical activity, can improve both your mental and physical well-being. Additionally, journaling can offer a great outlet for processing emotions, and fostering self-compassion will help you treat yourself with kindness, especially during tough times. I’m also here to help connect you with a professional support network if needed. I’m open to working with you in any way that I can, offering these strategies and adjusting them to fit what feels right for you. I’m here to support you however you need.
During our first session, I'll take the time to really understand what you're going through, making sure there’s no confusion about your challenges and what you're hoping to achieve. It’s all about making sure we’re on the same page and working together toward your goals.
I’m here to offer support without judgment, providing reassurance and medical expertise every step of the way. My goal is to work closely with you to find a treatment plan that feels right for you. I know life can get busy with work, school, family, and everything in between, so I’ll do my best to schedule our meetings at times that work best for you. We’ll figure it out together.
As an Advanced Nurse Practitioner, my approach centers on empathy and genuine care, believing each person has an inherent capacity for growth. Here, you'll find a nurturing environment where no challenge—whether depression, anxiety, ADHD, addiction, or trauma—diminishes your worth. With experience across pediatric behavioral health to veteran mental health care with VA disability exams, I offer a space where every identity is valued, especially LGBTQ+ individuals and those grappling with substance challenges.

Always has the best attitude and knows how to think outside the box. Good at identifying my needs and addressing the medications and dosage carefully but accurately. The best provider I've had out of 6 in the past 15 years!

I've only had one session so far but she is great. She made me feel comfortable enough to open up almost instantly. I felt zero judgement from her. I plan on continuing with Tera and I am optimistic that my mental health will improve with her help and guidance.
