I am a dual board-certified, experienced primary care and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. My approach is to target the body as a whole, as the body system is interconnected; a break in one section can cause a ripple effect in another. I am passionate about providing the best care and support my patients need to recover and maintain wellness.

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

In our sessions, you can expect a comfortable and safe environment where you can freely express your thoughts, feelings, and concerns. With active listening, I strive to understand your exclusive needs and offer information about mental health, medications, and treatment options to help you make informed decisions about your care. Together, we will establish goals and objectives for your treatment and regularly assess your progress toward those goals.
