Have you ever left a psychiatric appointment feeling rushed, unheard, or like you couldn't truly speak your mind? Finding the right mental health provider shouldn't feel like walking on eggshells, nor should it feel like your treatment is being dictated to you. If you are looking for a provider who actually listens, explains the "why" behind every decision, and treats you as an equal partner in your own care, you are in the right place. In my practice, there is no need to censor yourself. Come exactly as you are, speak how you want to speak, and let’s have real, honest conversations about what you’re going through.
I do not believe in a "my way or the highway" approach to mental health. True healing happens when we collaborate. As a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, my role is to bring clinical expertise to the table, while you bring the expertise of you. Together, we will build a treatment plan that aligns with your specific goals.
I'm committed to transparency. Whether we're discussing a thorough clinical assessment, a new diagnosis, or exploring medication management options, I will break down every detail in plain, easy-to-understand language. We will never move forward with a plan until all of your questions are answered and you feel completely comfortable with our next steps.

I specialize in treating ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, & Substance Use Disorders. I prefer to keep my clients engaged with treatment by regularly checking in with them, assigning therapeutic homework, and by setting clear and realistic expectations for treatment, so that they know exactly how I make the recommendations that I do, along with what they can expect from medications and/or therapy.
