About
I’m a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner who believes healing happens through a collaborative, person-centered approach that respects your lived experience while grounding care in evidence-based practice.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 12 years of experience providing evidence-based psychiatric care to adolescents and adults. I support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related concerns, and challenges related to major life transitions. My approach is collaborative and person-centered, with an emphasis on understanding the full context of each client’s lived experience.
I earned my master’s degree in nursing from Walden University. I specialize in comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, thoughtful medication management, and shared decision-making. When medication is part of treatment, I prioritize education, careful monitoring, and ongoing adjustments to ensure care aligns with each client’s goals and values.
I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. Whether you are seeking symptom relief, greater self-understanding, or support during a difficult season, I will work alongside you at a pace that feels right. Together, we will focus on meaningful progress and sustainable mental well-being.
