I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner trained to provide holistic care and help people with various mental challenges. I will take time to listen and understand your challenges/problems in a nonjudgmental manner. After a completed detailed initial assessment, together, we will decide on treatment modalities that are right for you, ensuring your privacy and confidentiality are respected, utilizing a patient-centered approach to care.

I offer medication management and psychotherapy. I have many years of experience in a variety of healthcare settings, and this has shaped me to continue advocating for patients.

I know that reaching out for help may not always be easy, but reach out to me by email or phone with a brief description of your treatment goals, and I will schedule an appointment with you at your earliest convenience to better understand how I can help.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you understand how thoughts impact emotions and behaviors. In our first session, we will explore your concerns and set treatment goals. Together, we'll identify unhelpful thought patterns and build strategies to reframe them, supporting healthier emotional responses and meaningful change.
