PMHNP, 12 years of experience
As a Board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with over 13 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals across the lifespan—children, teens, and adults. My work has given me a deep appreciation for the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of creating a safe, compassionate space for healing. I specialize in the medical treatment of ADHD, depression, anxiety, and mood disorders, and I am passionate about helping people find relief, clarity, and confidence in their daily lives.
Your first appointment with me will usually be 1 hour long. I will: -listen to your concerns and symptoms -ask questions about your general health -ask about your family history -take your blood pressure and do a basic physical check-up if it's required -develop a treatment plan that takes you into consideration.
As a mental health professional with thirteen years of experience working with children, adolescents, and families in a psychiatric setting, I have seen firsthand the struggles that children, teenagers, and adults go through in their daily lives. I'm here to help you overcome those challenges. We will create a specific plan for you.
I treat adults 18-65 years of age for depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorders, and general psychiatry. I see children six and up for ADHD, Oppositional defiant disorders, and Autism Spectrum
