I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with 16 years of experience in the mental health field. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and complex trauma. My background includes work in intensive care, hospice, and correctional health, which gives me a well-rounded perspective on resilience, crisis, and long-term healing.

I earned my Master of Science in nursing from Northern Kentucky University and have experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I take a whole-person approach to care, creating personalized treatment plans that address not only symptoms but also the underlying factors contributing to emotional distress.

I strive to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and empowered. Together, we will build a clear and realistic path toward lasting wellness. You do not have to navigate this alone—I look forward to supporting you in your next chapter.

I am a licensed social worker (LSW) with 2 years of experience working with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, relationship issues, and other life challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on building trust so clients can explore their emotions in a safe space. I believe in helping individuals develop practical tools for emotional regulation, communication, and personal growth, while reminding them that healing is a journey, not a destination.

I earned my master’s in social work from Indiana Wesleyan University. My therapeutic style combines a strengths-based, relational perspective with evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and emotionally focused approaches.

Nobody should feel alone in their struggles. My goal is to provide an uplifting and supportive environment where clients can process difficult emotions, build resilience, and move toward lifelong change. I am here to walk alongside you through every valley and mountaintop because it’s never too late to reach out for help.
