I care for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-related symptoms, mood changes, and psychiatric concerns complicated by medical illness. I'm dual board-certified as a Psychiatric Mental Health and Geriatric Nurse Practitioner, and at Mind Pulse Center I work closely with our double board-certified child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrists, so every patient gets the benefit of a full clinical team. We accept most major insurance plans, and new patients are typically seen quickly, often much sooner than a psychiatrist's first available appointment.
I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive psychotherapy, with a careful, evidence-based approach to prescribing. Since 2011 I've practiced in complex pain management, work I continue today, so I understand chronic illness and polypharmacy firsthand. When medication isn't enough, our center offers TMS.
Many patients come in feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start, and often it's an adult child searching on behalf of an aging parent. Either way, my goal is for you to feel heard, respected, and actively involved in every decision. Reach out; our team will verify your insurance benefits before your first visit, so there are no surprises.

I care for patients whose depression or anxiety is tangled up with physical health: chronic pain, medical illness, multiple medications, or the changes that come with aging. Since 2011 I've practiced in pain medicine alongside my psychiatric work, so I understand both sides. As a Navy veteran, I'm proud to care for service members and their families. When medications haven't been enough, our cente

My visits blend medication management with supportive psychotherapy, there's always room to talk, not just adjust prescriptions. I'm currently completing advanced training in CBT, and I draw on cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based techniques for anxiety, insomnia, and chronic pain. Treatment decisions are always made together.
