I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with extensive experience caring for adults and teens, including Veterans and active-duty service members. My training includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma‐informed care, mindfulness‐based interventions, and Medication‐Assisted Treatment (MAT). I am a Certified QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) suicide prevention trainer and a certified life coach. I treat anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, women's issues (Menopause), and related concerns with practical, evidence‐based interventions. I offer virtual sessions to keep care accessible and consistent.
My style is collaborative, culturally responsive, and goal‐oriented. We’ll define what “healing” means for you, then select the optimal combination of therapy skills and, when appropriate, medication. Sessions often blend CBT tools, mindfulness and grounding techniques, mood management, and routine support, along with skills that you can practice.
Your first visit is a focused, welcoming conversation about your history, strengths, and priorities. We’ll clarify your top concerns, review safety and supports, and set clear, achievable goals. You’ll leave with an initial plan, including CBT strategies, lifestyle recommendations, and medication that may be helpful, plus a follow-up visit scheduled.
