Reclaiming control of your life is possible with the right tools, support team, and treatment plan. I’m an ANCC board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in mental health concerns across the lifespan. My experience in psychiatry began years ago in the inpatient setting, working with a variety of mild to severe cases. My clinical training in psychotherapy and medication management has provided ample experience working with clients presenting with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD, schizophrenia, PTSD, substance use, and ADHD.
We will work together to find the optimal treatment plan for you. My approach integrates medication management, client autonomy, lifestyle habits, psychotherapy, lab monitoring, strength building, and maybe some laughs along the way!
I believe in developing a compassionate, trusting relationship with my clients and being an active part of their path towards mental wellness. Send me an email or give me a call if you’re interested in having my support as we navigate your recovery together.

I work with clients who are experiencing a variety of external stressors that are impacting their day to day functioning as well as mood and behavioral dysregulation. During our initial sessions I will dive into who you are as a person, and get into the current complaints you're struggling with. Following sessions will involve fine-tuning your treatment plan accordingly, either weekly or monthly.

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

  • Strength-Based
"
I use evidence-based tools and approaches from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), supportive, and strength-based therapy. This includes learning how your thoughts influence your emotions and pushing back the negative ones. Sometimes clients just need to feel heard and supported, as well as highlight and build upon their strengths. This is something we can achieve in our therapeutic relationship.
