I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree and over 20 years of healthcare experience. For more than 8 of those years, I’ve worked in advanced practice caring for people like you. I’m here to listen and work with you on your mental health goals. I offer thorough assessments and treatments that are backed by research, but I always focus on what matters most to you. My goal is to partner with you, understand your concerns, and create a plan that fits your life and supports real, lasting progress.
In our initial session, we will conduct a thorough psychiatric evaluation. I will ask about your current concerns, symptoms, medical and mental health history, lifestyle, and treatment goals to gain a holistic understanding of your situation.
I bring over two decades of medical experience and 8 years of advanced clinical practice in both family medicine and psychiatry. My career has been dedicated to delivering comprehensive, evidence-based care across diverse healthcare settings.
