"As a nurse practitioner, I combine evidence-based medication management with compassionate listening to support the whole person—not just their diagnosis."

I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 18 years of experience providing compassionate, person-centered care to adolescents and adults. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related symptoms, and emotional dysregulation. Many of the patients I support feel overwhelmed or frustrated by symptoms that interfere with daily functioning and relationships, and I work to help them gain clarity, balance, and practical tools for long-term stability.

I earned my master’s degree in nursing from Maryville University. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based medication management. I take time to understand each patient’s full story and develop individualized treatment plans that support symptom relief and sustainable progress.

Seeking support takes courage, and you do not have to navigate this process alone. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where concerns are taken seriously, and progress happens in realistic, manageable steps. When you are ready, I would be honored to work alongside you on your path toward healing and balance.
