Hello and welcome! I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 10 years of experience. My ideal patient is someone tired of pretending like everything is normal when it's not. Maybe your depression is keeping you from spending quality time with your family. Maybe your anxiety causes panic attacks every time you want to go out and have fun with your friends. Maybe you're on the verge of losing your job because you can't seem to get your time management under control or meet important deadlines. Or maybe you're just exhausted with keeping the mask on. If you feel like any of this applies to you, you've come to the right place.
I work with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, identity exploration, and life transitions. I see medications as a tool in a toolbox; there is no magic pill that can cure symptoms. It's a combination of medication, therapy, coping skills, and lifestyle changes.
You don't have to keep carrying this alone. Healing isn't about perfection; nobody is perfect. Everybody always has something to work on, and I'm here to assist with that in whatever way is possible. Expect a full assessment of your needs with compassion, humor, and a high likelihood of one of my cats invading the session.
