I believe in the power of curiosity and partnership with folks on their mental health journeys to make meaningful, lasting progress—whatever that means for you!
Through my nursing career, I've worked across a wide range of settings: medical floors, correctional care, a residential substance use program, and assertive community treatment. That breadth has shaped how I show up for people — with curiosity, without judgment, and with a genuine respect for the complexity of human experience. I hold space for folks from all walks of life, but have a particular passion for supporting queer and neurodivergent communities.
