Are you trying to find balance in your life? Are you having issues with the day-to-day functioning? As a Board Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I aim to help you from a safe, nonjudgmental environment. I will collaborate with you to manage and focus on improving your quality of life. I have been working in mental health for the past 8 years, with almost 13 years of experience in healthcare. My goal is to provide a positive experience to help you find the balance with self care and self awareness. I work with adolescents and adults aged 18 and older. We can start this journey when you call to book an appointment.

I often like to use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice especially when dealing with behavior patterns and emotions. During treatment, I like to help clients recognize how their negative thoughts can impact their experiences. This allows for development of healthier thinking patterns with positive thoughts for better outcomes.
