Have you been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not quite like yourself? I offer a space that feels calm, supportive, and genuinely safe, where you can show up as you are and feel heard without judgment.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner providing medication management with a collaborative, patient-centered approach. I believe in treating the whole person, not just symptoms, and that meaningful progress happens when you feel understood and involved in your treatment. Therefore, I work closely with you to find what truly helps you to meet your full potential.
I have a strong passion for trauma-informed care and for working with children and adolescents, while also supporting adults ages 18-65. I help individuals navigate a wide range of challenges, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, PTSD, personality-related concerns, eating disorders, OCD, and more.
Whether symptoms are new, ongoing, or have been difficult to manage with past treatment, I focus on finding an approach that feels practical and sustainable. My goal is to help you feel more steady, more in control, and supported as you make meaningful progress in your mental health. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’m here to support you.
