I offer a range of services to meet your needs, including combined treatment (medication + therapy), medication management, & ADHD evaluations. I work with adults who are navigating challenges related to anxiety, stress, depression, ADHD, and life transitions. My ideal clients are individuals who are seeking a deeper understanding of their mental health and are motivated to make meaningful changes in their lives. In our first few sessions, I'll listen to you intently and then we'll determine a path forward. Most of my clients start to feel better within a few months.
I specialize in psychodynamic psychotherapy, which is well-suited to people who want to get to the root of long-term problems and patterns that continually crop up and get in the way of living a fulfilled life. As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, sometimes I will recommend medications that I believe will help you to make best use of therapy.
My approach to care centers on warmth, directness, and attentiveness. I'm honored to walk with you on a path toward greater functioning and joy.
