I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 15+ years of experience in mental health care. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, stress, mood disorders, panic attacks, overthinking, irritability, sleep issues and hormonal-related mood changes (including PMDD) that impact daily functioning, work, and relationships. Many feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure about medication. Our team uses a structured, goal-oriented approach to clarify symptoms, identify patterns, and create individualized treatment plans to help clients regain stability, improve emotional regulation and move forward with confidence.
I specialize in anxiety, depression, mood disorders and burnout, providing comprehensive psychiatric evaluation/medication management. Our team delivers results-driven, individualized care, integrating evidence-based treatment, therapy collaboration, and lifestyle strategies to improve sleep, reduce anxiety, stabilize mood, and support long-term functioning.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or struggling with anxiety, mood shifts, or stress that isn’t improving, you’re not alone. Our team provides a clear, supportive approach focused on real progress and lasting change. When you’re ready for a plan that works, we’re here to help you move forward.
