My experience in both mental and physical health care allow for a holistic approach to truly understanding your needs and helping you feel your best. I see children, adolescents, and adults struggling with anxiety, OCD, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, substance use, and tough life transitions with a strong focus on therapy and medications if needed. As a partner in your health, I offer proactive support and stability, and work with you on a treatment plan that addresses your needs.

I’m a dual-certified Psychiatric and Family NP using an approach that connects mental and physical health. I’m a certified anxiety treatment provider and OCD treatment specialist trained. I also treat depression, bipolar disorder, adjustment disorders, eating disorders and others using medication management and therapy if needed.
Finding the right provider can feel overwhelming,especially when you’re already dealing with anxiety,OCD, depression, or simply feeling “off.” You don’t have to navigate that alone. I offer a supportive, judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and respected. My approach is collaborative and personalized meaning we work together on a plan.
