You're the one people lean on. The provider, the builder, the one who holds everything together — which means you rarely get to fall apart. I've framed houses in brutal heat, burned out in high-stakes healthcare, sat in ERs, and navigated divorce, loss, and raising two teenagers. I know what it's like to keep moving when you're running on empty. The people I work with are professionals, caregivers, and high-responsibility adults who look capable on the outside but feel exhausted, anxious, or quietly overwhelmed somewhere deeper. If that's you, you don't have to explain yourself here. I already get it.
I treat anxiety, depression, OCD, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. I do medication management — but I think of medication as a life jacket, not swim lessons. It can keep you afloat while the real work happens. My goal is always the right amount of medication, which is usually less than you'd expect, and ideally less over time.
Mental health care shouldn't feel like being handed a prescription and sent home. My approach is practical, collaborative, and grounded in real life. We figure out what's actually driving your symptoms, build a plan that fits how you live, and adjust as you grow. If you're ready to feel steadier and more like yourself, I'd be glad to be in your corner.

Dual board-certified FNP and PMHNP with 30 years of clinical experience. I bring a whole-person perspective to psychiatric care — your mental and physical health are connected, and I treat them that way.

I treat anxiety, depression, and ADHD — along with bipolar disorder, OCD, trauma, substance use, and life transitions. A typical plan starts with a thorough evaluation where we actually talk, not just check boxes. From there we build something tailored: medication when it genuinely helps, practical strategies that fit your real life, and adjustments as you grow. Most people begin feeling better.
