I provide treatment for a wide range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, insomnia, bipolar disorder, and psychotic disorders. With over 10 years of experience in psychiatric nursing, I bring a depth of expertise to my practice. My approach is holistic, working collaboratively with you to develop a personalized care plan that addresses your unique needs and supports your overall well-being.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In the first session, clients can expect a relaxed and supportive conversation where I take the time to get to know them and their unique situation. We'll discuss their mental health history, current concerns, and what they hope to achieve in treatment. I let clients guide how in-depth they want to go during our initial meeting, ensuring they feel comfortable at their own pace. Based on our discussion, I prescribe medications tailored to their needs.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strength as a provider is the combination of my education and lived experience. I am grateful for the solid foundation I gained from a well-respected PMHNP program, which, when paired with my personal experiences, allows me to connect with patients on a deeper level with understanding and empathy. I prioritize making individuals feel safe, welcome, and truly heard in every session, as I believe comfort and trust are essential in the provider-patient relationship. Our work together is a partnership, and we will collaborate to achieve your goals for improved health and wellness.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I am best positioned to serve clients who are looking for a compassionate, collaborative approach to mental health care. Whether you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, insomnia, bipolar disorder, or psychotic disorders, I create a safe, non-judgmental space where your experiences and needs are truly heard. My approach is particularly supportive for clients who want to be actively involved in their treatment, value a holistic perspective, and seek a partnership in their recovery.

My treatment methods

Compassion Focused

My approach is grounded in genuine care for the overall well-being of others. I utilize a compassion-focused treatment modality to foster self-compassion and help patients overcome feelings of shame and self-criticism. I emphasize creating a safe, empathetic space where patients feel truly heard and supported throughout their challenges. This environment allows for exploration of emotions without judgment, encouraging healing and personal growth.
