With a professional foundation in therapy, I bring an added layer of depth to psychiatric care with you, making my approach truly holistic. My sessions are not limited to medication discussions; patients can expect a thoughtful blend of therapeutic conversation, skills-building, and evidence-based medication management when appropriate. Drawing from cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness-based, trauma-informed, and relational approaches, I focus on understanding each person’s experiences within the context of their life and works collaboratively to develop care that feels individualized, compassionate, and genuinely supportive.
I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience in mental health care, including many years providing individual therapy in community and outpatient settings. I believe healing begins with being truly seen, heard, and understood, and she strives to create a space that is warm, collaborative, and never rushed.
I consider it a privilege to walk alongside people during vulnerable moments in their lives. I understand that psychiatric care can feel overwhelming, and I am committed to offering steady, compassionate support as patients work toward improved well-being. Reach out to get scheduled with me today. I am taking new patients both in person and via telehealth!
