I’m a doctorate-prepared, dual certified FNP, PMHNP specializing in neurodevelopmental/cognitive/divergent conditions, with expertise in autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, and geriatric psychiatry. I have extensive experience with complex chronic illness and co-occurring psychiatric conditions across the lifespan and in diverse clinical settings. My background in executive leadership and long-term care administration also informs my work within institutional settings. I have a longstanding interest in complementary, integrative, and holistic approaches to health. My practice is neurodiversity-affirming and LGBTQIA+ inclusive.
I specialize in making sense of complex psychiatric symptoms across the lifespan, from age 5 through older adulthood. I offer comprehensive evaluations, formal diagnosis, medication management, and collaborative treatment planning that considers the whole person, their history, relationships, health, and daily life.
I value genuine connection and a safe, supportive space where you can be yourself. I bring curiosity, a sprinkle of humor, and the occasional nerdy tangent, while recognizing that you are the expert on you. My hope is that you leave feeling heard, understood, and more confident about what comes next.
