Seeking mental health care can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide compassionate, judgment-free care for depression, anxiety, PTSD, and substance use. My approach is collaborative and individualized, combining evidence-based treatment with your experiences, needs, and personal goals. When appropriate, I may also incorporate lifestyle modifications, vitamin supplementation, lab work, and GeneSight testing to help guide treatment. Evening appointments are available to make quality mental health care more accessible and convenient.
I focus on helping you understand what’s going on beneath the surface—not just managing symptoms, but making sense of them. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, mood changes, trauma, or substance use, I look at patterns, triggers, and what’s working. I provide thoughtful medication management while considering sleep, stress, and overall functioning.
Reaching out for help can feel uncomfortable, especially if you’re used to carrying everything on your own. You don’t need the perfect words or a clear plan to get started. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just not like yourself, that matters. You deserve support that feels safe, genuine, and centered around you—and I’m here when you’re ready.
