About
I approach mental health care with humility and cultural awareness, recognizing that each person’s journey is unique and deserving of individualized, holistic support.
As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with eight years of nursing experience spanning multiple specialties, I bring a broad clinical perspective to mental health care across the lifespan. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma-related conditions, mood disorders, burnout, and difficult life transitions. My approach is compassionate, holistic, and rooted in evidence-based practice—combining psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and supportive therapy to treat the whole person, not just symptoms. I partner with each client to build personalized treatment plans centered on resilience.
I earned my Master of Science in nursing from Walden University. My approach is collaborative and individualized, combining comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and thoughtful medication management with psychoeducation, mindfulness-based strategies, and strength-based coping skills.
If you've been carrying more than you let others see, you don't have to do it alone. I offer a warm, respectful, judgment-free space where we can identify patterns, build practical tools, and restore clarity and confidence. When you're ready, I'm here to help you take that next step toward meaningful, sustainable change.

Bipolar depression is a serious mental illness wherein people experience cycles of depression and cycles of mania. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) outlines the definition of each cycle. Individuals must experience both in order to be diagnosed as Bipolar.
During a depressed cycle, people will experience an empty, weepy, or sad mood that persists for at least two weeks. It will be accompanied by indifference toward daily activities and at least three of these symptoms:
As if this depression cycle were not enough to handle, Bipolar depression has another cycle—mania. The DSM-5 also outlines what mania may look like in an individual’s life. The stereotype is raving happiness, but true mania can also frenetic irritation. The full diagnostics follow:
Far from a singular illness, bipolar depression has various subcategories of diagnosis. One common subcategory of Bipolar disorder is bipolar II where may experience severe depression cycles, but their mania cycle is usually a less severe hypomania. This is just one example of many.
Just as people who have been diagnosed with a severe physical illness must work closely with their doctors for treatment, a key to living with bipolar is working closely with a mental health professional. A skilled and experienced therapist can help clients find their right diagnosis and their right treatment plan.
