About
I believe it’s important for all patients, regardless of age, to have access to top-quality mental health services.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 18 years of experience in the mental health field. Throughout my career, I have worked in diverse clinical settings, gaining experience in comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and collaborative treatment planning. I specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma-related disorders, and behavioral health concerns across the lifespan. My goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each individual’s unique needs.
I earned my Master of Science in nursing from Regis College. I take a holistic, patient-centered approach, integrating supportive therapy, solution-focused strategies, and medication management when appropriate.
I believe that healing begins with feeling heard and understood. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can openly share your concerns and work toward meaningful change. Together, we will develop a personalized plan to help you manage symptoms, build resilience, and move toward improved mental wellness.
