I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner with a foundation in anthropology and years of experience as a family nurse practitioner. My degree in Anthropology taught me to understand people within the context of their culture, identity, and lived experiences. My 20 years as a Family Nurse Practitioner have given me a strong grasp of how physical and mental health intersect. Together, these perspectives help me provide thoughtful, holistic, and culturally aware care. I specialize in supporting clients through stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and life transitions, always with a focus on collaboration and respect.
I take a collaborative, practical, and compassionate approach to care. I meet clients where they are, helping them feel understood, supported, and empowered. My style is down‑to‑earth and solution‑focused, using close listening and thoughtful questions to break challenges into manageable steps.
I draw on a holistic lens and a strong foundation in family medicine, which helps me understand the connection between physical and emotional health and support clients through life transitions with clarity and care. I tailor my work to your needs, strengths, and goals, always keeping your voice at the center of the process.
