As a provider who takes care of patients with psychiatric disorders it requires patience and understanding. I take the time to listen to my patients, validate their experiences, and empower them to take an active role in their recovery journey.

I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with 6 years of nursing experience and 2 years of experience in psychiatry. My nursing background is in critical care, and I have experience treating high-acuity in all intensive-care settings. I transitioned into psychiatry and therapy due to my experience with vulnerable mentally ill and substance -addicted populations experiencing acute illness as a result of many years without adequate psychiatric care. I became determined to help improve quality of life, not simply prolong it! And as a nurse I am educated and trained to treat the whole person, not just the disease, using a holistic model of care. I provide medication management and specialize in therapy for anxiety, OCD, and personality disorder.
