Having grown up in an economically disadvantaged community, I witnessed the toll that mental illness can take on individuals and their families; and having raised three children on my own, I know what it is to struggle. My experiences fueled my passion for mental health care, and I bring this empathy and understanding to every patient interaction. I am deeply committed to helping my patients overcome their challenges and treating each individual with the same care and attention I would give to my own loved ones.
My approach to care is grounded in active listening, empathy, and collaboration. I work closely with my patients to develop personalized treatment plans that address their unique needs and goals. I work with those who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and many other mental health concerns.
With years of experience as an RN and mental health nurse practitioner, I have the knowledge and skills to care for patients of all ages, genders, and cultural backgrounds. Together, we can navigate life's challenges and help you find peace, healing, and fulfillment.
