I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 3 years of experience specializing in mood disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and sleep challenges. I am passionate about reducing the stigma around mental health and improving the quality of life for my patients through evidence-based, compassionate care tailored to each individual’s needs.
I earned my Master’s in Nursing from Walden University. My approach integrates psychopharmacology with cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered care, culturally sensitive mindfulness, and faith-based motivational interviewing. I believe in creating individualized treatment plans that foster resilience and support overall well-being.
I strive to provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to share their experiences. My goal is to collaborate closely with you to develop effective coping strategies, build hope, and promote healing. If you are ready to take the next step toward wellness, I would be honored to support you on your journey.
