I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, personality disorders, identity stress, and the mental health impact of oppression and trauma.

A little about me! I completed my education at Duke University and have 8 years of experience. My favorite part about being a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner is getting to see the small changes towards progress that you may not see yourself! In my free time I enjoy listening to audio books, going for walks, and frequenting the movies (yes! I still love the old fashioned movie theatre). My favorite show of all time is Survivor and I hope to be on it one day!
