As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, with over a decade in the healthcare field, I am passionate about helping individuals feel heard, understood, and empowered in their mental health journey. With training across the lifespan beginning at age five, I currently focus my practice on adults 18 and older with plans to expand services to children and adolescents in the future.
The initial intake appointment is a comprehensive clinical evaluation to ensure your needs align with the services I provide. I am currently focusing on treating patients with ADHD, anxiety, and depression. I have a special interest in working with disordered eating, graduate students and professionals navigating stress and mental health concerns.
I believe it is essential to honor each individual’s faith, culture, and personal experiences when addressing mental health needs, and I strive to create a respectful, inclusive, and supportive environment for every patient. I am passionate about helping people better understand themselves while building practical tools for lasting change.
