About
As someone who has faced personal trauma and loss, I possess a deep and genuine understanding of the profound effects that painful life experiences can have on us.
I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 33 years of experience specializing in the treatment of mood and psychiatric disorders, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and PTSD. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered in their healing journey. I value an individualized approach to care, recognizing that no two people experience life the same way. With decades of clinical knowledge and dedication to mental health, I am committed to helping clients navigate challenges and discover tools to improve their overall well-being.
I earned my Master’s in Advanced Practice Nursing from Walden University, where I strengthened my ability to combine evidence-based practices with compassionate care. My approach integrates talk therapy and medication management, tailored to the unique needs of each client, ensuring that treatment aligns with their goals and experiences.
I believe that meaningful progress begins with partnership. Whether you are seeking treatment, support, or guidance, I will walk alongside you in developing the tools needed to face life’s obstacles. Together, we can create positive and lasting change, helping you to feel more balanced, resilient, and hopeful in your journey forward.

As someone who has experienced severe trauma, with resulting chronic PTSD, I have a personal understanding of how this impacts every aspect of our lives.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with 16 years of experience supporting individuals facing complex mental health needs. My background includes acute inpatient care, outpatient treatment, and work with military members and first responders. I am particularly sensitive to the experiences of those who have served and those who often feel unseen. My goal is always to help each person feel safe, respected, and cared for.
I hold a master’s degree in nursing from the University of South Alabama. My approach to care is thoughtful and intentional. I believe in conservative medication management and aim for the best results with the least amount needed. I am also transitioning toward a more holistic and metabolic approach because everything in the body is connected.
I know how discouraging it can feel when you’re not listened to or your concerns are overlooked. I will take the time to understand your story, honor your goals, and work with you to find clarity and healing. I promise to do my best to make you feel truly seen, supported, and heard.

Psychologists are mental health professionals that provide psychotherapy services and diagnoses for their clients. They have more research-focused training than most therapists, as they are more medically educated and receive a more general education about therapeutic approaches and theory.
Thriveworks psychologists in Phoenix, AZ provide standard psychotherapy services, tailoring treatment to each client and their unique concerns. However, they can also provide diagnoses to clients when appropriate, something that therapists and counselors cannot do. Finally, in some states in the U.S., they are allowed to prescribe medication.
Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Phoenix is very individualized and specific to each client, which means that the duration of treatment is often varied depending on a client’s condition or disorder, the state of their symptoms, and their specific goals.
Our psychologists, as well as our counselors and therapists, are dedicated professionals who will be honored to walk with you on your mental health journey. They’ll get to know your specific challenges and then design a personalized treatment plan to best address these challenges.
If you’re interested in working with one of our trusted psychologists, give our office a call or visit our online booking system.
