Sleepless nights, racing thoughts, and the persistent fog of low mood can make daily life feel like a maze with no clear path forward. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, or insomnia, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and unsure of where to turn. You might look fine on the outside but feel like you're unraveling inside—stuck in survival mode instead of truly living. I’m here to help you find clarity and grounding. I hold an MSN in Nursing and Psychiatry from Eastern Kentucky University (2022), and I offer a holistic approach to medication management that supports both mind and body.
I work with individuals ages 15 and up, offering care that respects your unique needs and values. My goal is to help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface—physically, emotionally, and mentally—and to find medication strategies that complement your growth, not define it.
I believe healing isn't linear, and I feel honored to walk alongside people as they find their rhythm again. If you're ready to feel more like yourself again, I’d be glad to be part of that journey. Let’s explore what relief and renewed energy can look like for you. Reach out when you’re ready—I look forward to connecting.
