The ideal mental health client I envision is open, reflective, and ready for change, even if they don’t fully know how to navigate the process. They might face challenges such as anxiety or feelings of overwhelm, self-criticism, navigating life transitions, or experiencing disconnection. Their goals often include cultivating peace and balance, developing self-acceptance, building resilience and strength, fostering authenticity and connection, and gaining clarity and purpose.
I am a dual board-certified Nurse Practitioner specializing in Family and Psychiatric Mental Health. My approach to care is holistic, focusing on comprehensive wellness for the mind, body, and spirit. I offer tailored support in areas such as weight loss coaching, medical weight loss, and medication management for depression, anxiety, and ADHD.
I believe in treating every patient with respect and compassion, recognizing the uniqueness of each individual’s journey. My goal is to provide balanced, empathetic care that empowers my patients to achieve their wellness goals and enhances their quality of life. Your wellness journey begins here.
