I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a Doctorate in Nursing Practice from Washington State University. I specialize in helping individuals who are struggling with anxiety, social anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, PTSD, or related challenges. I strive to help through compassionate listening, evidence-based medication management when appropriate, psychotherapy, and practical strategies, including genetic testing and a holistic approach tailored to your unique needs—empowering you to regain control, build resilience, and live a more fulfilling life.
I provide outpatient psychiatric care across the lifespan, including thorough diagnostic assessments, precision medication management, and psychotherapy. My approach is evidence-based and collaborative, integrating psychopharmacology, CBT, solution-focused therapy, interpersonal therapy, and motivational interviewing—with a focus on measurable outcomes.
Mental health care should be clear, respectful, and effective. My role is to help reduce symptoms, improve functioning, and support long-term stability while accounting for your values, context, and goals. Care is approached with professionalism, transparency, and an understanding of the real-world demands patients face.
