I am a dedicated and board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 7 years of clinical experience supporting individuals through life’s most difficult moments. I strongly believe in meeting people where they are, providing personalized care that recognizes each person’s unique story. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, grief, obsessive-compulsive disorder, trauma, and PTSD, and I am committed to helping clients rediscover balance, resilience, and hope.
I earned my MS in Nursing from Walden University and am passionate about meeting each client where they are. I use evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, experiential therapy, and person-centered therapy, to provide compassionate care that empowers clients to achieve balance and emotional well-being.
I emphasize collaboration, follow-up, & progress tracking to support long-term healing and growth. If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or burdened by life changes, I am here to help. I provide a safe and understanding space for healing, offering diagnosis, treatment, and guidance so you can move forward with hope, confidence, and a renewed sense of self
