I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with experience in both outpatient psychiatry and crisis stabilization settings. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, stress, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. Many of the clients I work with are used to pushing through their struggles quietly while trying to keep up with work, school, relationships, or family responsibilities, and are looking for practical support, clarity, and lasting emotional stability. 

My approach is collaborative, practical, and judgment-free. I combine medication management with supportive conversations, psychoeducation, and realistic goal-setting to help clients understand their symptoms, improve daily functioning, and feel emotionally balanced.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck, or simply trying to feel more like yourself again, I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable being honest, understood, and supported throughout the process.
