I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner also certified Family Practitioner. My focus is the whole-person approach to psychiatric care. I prioritize collaborative decision-making, careful medication management, and clear education so patients feel informed and empowered. I provide care that embraces diversity across all socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. My ideal client is an adolescent or adult experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, mood dysregulation, impulsivity, or behavioral challenges that are impacting school, work, or relationships.
If you feel overwhelmed, unfocused, persistently sad, irritable, or emotionally reactive, and are seeking thoughtful, evidence-based care that will foster emotional wellbeing/ mental balance than I can help. I am a provider who will truly listen. And will provide careful individualized medication management using best practices and informed care.
Every person deserves to feel safe, respected, and supported in their mental health journey. I understand how medical issues, environmental stressors, and social factors intersect with mental health. My approach to medication management focus on the whole person, not just the diagnosis. My goal is to optimize treatment ensuring each person feels empowered.

I work with clients who struggle with depression anxiety, mood instability, trauma, sleep difficulties, or problems with focus/ concentration. During our initial visits we'll discuss how these challenges are affecting your relationships, work, and overall quality of life. Treatment often includes ongoing follow-up visits to monitor progress, adjust medications as needed, and ensure you feel heard.
