Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious or struggling to feel like yourself again? Seeking mental health support can feel daunting especially when considering medication. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected and informed every step of the way.
I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management for children and adults. I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma related symptoms and other mental health concerns.
My approach to medication management is collaborative and personalized. I believe medication can be a helpful tool when used thoughtfully and in alignment with your goals, values and lifestyle. I take time to explain treatment options, discuss potential benefits and side effects. I ensure you feel comfortable and empowered in your care.
Whether you are new to psychiatric medication, seeking a second opinion or looking to optimize your current treatment, I strive to provide care that is evidence based, compassionate and responsive. If you're ready to explore your options I welcome you to reach out. You don't have to navigate this alone.
