I’m a doctorate-trained Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who works with adults seeking clarity, emotional stability, and relief from symptoms that interfere with daily life. I provide compassionate, judgment-free psychiatric care with a special focus on ADHD, anxiety, and depression. I believe ADHD is real, treatable, and often misunderstood, and I’m passionate about helping patients move beyond stigma, better understand themselves, and regain confidence in their daily functioning, relationships, and goals. My approach is collaborative, practical, and personalized to help patients create meaningful change
I provide psychiatric evaluations, adult ADHD assessments, medication management, and personalized treatment plans tailored to your needs and lifestyle. Evidence-based care treatment to improve focus, reduce anxiety, and help you function more confidently. In-person and telehealth visits are available, and affordable self-pay options without insurance.
You don’t have to keep struggling alone. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, distracted, or stuck, take the first step and reach out. A simple call, text, or message can lead to real support and answers. Many people delay getting help because of fear or stigma, but you are not alone. Let’s navigate this together.

I provide adult ADHD assessments, psychiatric evaluations, and ongoing medication management. If ADHD is diagnosed, treatment can begin promptly on the same day. Many patients seek care for difficulty focusing, procrastination, emotional overwhelm, or feeling "stuck," and I help translate those experiences into clear, actionable treatment plans.
