I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner with over a decade of experience in corrections, community mental health, and private practice. I work with diverse and LGBTQ+ clients and especially enjoy supporting women of all ages. Many of my clients are navigating depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, trauma, OCD, binge‑eating, or substance‑related concerns that affect relationships, work, school, or sense of self. I offer careful diagnostic evaluation, psychopharmacology, and a calm, whole‑person, non‑judgmental, steady approach to help restore balance and long‑term well‑being.
I provide medication management with a calm, steady, and collaborative approach. We review your full medical and psychiatric history, discuss medications to alleviate symptoms, explore the risks and benefits of medication, and create a plan together. We will monitor your response closely. I offer ideas for managing symptoms and adjusting treatment as needed.
I understand that reaching out for mental health support can feel overwhelming. You're not alone, and you don’t have to navigate this on your own. I’m here to listen with empathy, offer guidance, and support your goals. When you're ready, I invite you to take that next step we can work together to help you feel grounded, empowered, and well.
