My ideal patient is an individual who is honest in communicating their feelings and concerns. I would like to simplify mental health treatment and assist my patients to enhance their healthy coping skills. I do not prescribe adhd stimulant medications. We’ll talk through your concerns, check on labs if needed, explore simple lifestyle and supplement options, and see if medication might be helpful.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner that provides integrative mental health services with personalized options that patient feels are best suited for them. I don’t just see a diagnosis—I see the whole person. Your story matters deeply, and I’m here to hold space for it.
My goal is to provide the best care to my patients via therapeutic alliance and education. I keep my patient panel small, to offer open communication—so you’ll always feel supported when you need it. This is a space where your story is valued, and together we’ll find the path that feels right for you. When you’re ready to take the next step, I’ll be here.
