About
My goal is to help you feel supported, valued, and empowered as you take steps toward healing and growth.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 2 years of experience in the mental health field. In my practice, I provide care for individuals facing a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other mood or behavioral health concerns. I am dedicated to offering compassionate, evidence-based support to help clients improve their mental well-being and achieve lasting change.
I earned my Master’s in Nursing from Florida State University, where I strengthened my clinical expertise and commitment to delivering individualized care. My training emphasized evidence-based treatment approaches, which I continue to integrate into my practice to provide effective and meaningful support for clients.
I view therapy as a collaborative journey and strive to create a safe, welcoming environment where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered. My goal is to help individuals explore challenges, build resilience, and develop strategies that foster emotional health and personal growth.

Psychiatry allows people struggling to manage mental conditions or disorders to get access to medications that will make daily functioning easier, as well as work through any mental factors that might be causing or worsening their condition. Though medications can’t cure mental disorders, medication can make symptoms more manageable, making the process of psychotherapeutic treatment easier and more effective. Psychiatric care can be available through in-person psychiatry and online psychiatry, depending on where you live and your own preferences. However, psychiatric providers at Thriveworks in Clearwater, FL specifically offer online psychiatry to their clients.
