I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping adults find relief from anxiety, depression, trauma, and burnout. I provide compassionate, trauma-informed psychiatric care that combines evidence-based treatment with genuine understanding. My approach blends medication management, therapy, and practical coping strategies tailored to each client’s needs. I offer flexible online psychiatry sessions and will soon provide in-person appointments, making mental health care more accessible and comfortable.
During your first session, I’ll focus on listening to your story and understanding your current challenges, history, and goals. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan that may include therapy, medication management, and lifestyle recommendations. You’ll leave with a clear path forward, a sense of relief, and the reassurance that you have a partner in your mental health journey.
My strengths lie in creating a safe, judgment-free space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Compassion-Focused Therapy, and Psychoeducation to address both symptoms and root causes. My approach is collaborative and empowering, helping clients build lasting skills to manage their mental health. I am committed to trauma-informed, patient-centered care that focuses on meaningful, long-term results.
I am best positioned to support individuals who are ready to better understand themselves, regain emotional balance, and take an active role in their mental wellness journey. I work with adolescents and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, mood disorders, and life transitions that can affect daily functioning and overall quality of life. I often connect with individuals who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, but are open to support, guidance, and evidence-based treatment. Whether you are navigating ongoing symptoms, seeking clarity about a diagnosis, or simply wanting to feel like yourself again, I provide a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can be heard and supported. My approach is personalized and collaborative. I combine medication management with supportive therapy and practical lifestyle strategies to help you improve sleep, increase focus, stabilize mood, and develop healthier coping skills. I especially enjoy working with individuals who are motivated to grow, even if they are unsure where to start.
Compassion Focused
I use compassion-focused strategies to help clients reduce self-criticism, heal from trauma, and feel emotionally safe. This approach activates the brain’s soothing system, lowers stress, and fosters self-kindness, creating a strong foundation for healing.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients recognize and change unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to anxiety and depression. This structured, evidence-based method provides practical tools for managing symptoms, improving mood, and building confidence.
Psychoeducation
I incorporate psychoeducation into sessions to help clients better understand their mental health conditions and treatment options. By learning about the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, clients are empowered to take an active role in their recovery.
Supportive
Supportive therapy provides a safe, nonjudgmental space where patients can express themselves freely and feel heard. Through active listening, empathy, and encouragement, I help individuals navigate life’s challenges while reinforcing their strengths. This approach is especially helpful during times of stress or transition, promoting resilience and emotional stability.
