I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of nursing experience. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice from Sacred Heart Catholic University, along with a Master’s and Bachelor of Science in Nursing from George Mason University. I also completed a post-master’s certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) across the lifespan at Wilkes University. I provide psychiatric care to clients throughout Maryland and Washington, DC.
To my valued clients: I provide compassionate, evidence-based care through a collaborative and personalized approach. I understand that your experiences are unique and deserve respect and sensitivity. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to move toward greater clarity, balance, and emotional well-being.
My journey began at the bedside as a nurse and later as a nurse educator, shaping my compassionate, patient-centered approach. I provide evidence-based psychiatric care across the lifespan, supporting children, adolescents, adults, and older adults with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and trauma. If you’re ready for support, I’m here to help.
