I am a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with 9 years of nursing experience and a certified clinical anxiety treatment professional (CCATP). My journey began in the ICU, caring for society's most vulnerable as they fought for their lives. Though we saved many, I wanted to do more - to improve their quality of life. This calling led me to mental healthcare, where I now have the privilege of walking with people on their road to recovery. My goal is not just to prolong life, but to improve it.
The first appointment includes a comprehensive psychiatric assessment, full medical and psychiatric history-taking, diagnostic evaluation, and medication management services tailored to your individual needs. My philosophy of care is to optimize medication management to the least amount of medications at the lowest-effective doses to optimize care.
As a dedicated mental health provider, I understand that you are an individual with specific needs, not just a diagnosis. I will take the time needed to get to know you and use the necessary resources to provide you with excellent and compassionate healthcare.

CBT is the gold standard for treating OCD and anxiety disorders. I employ techniques in a present-oriented context to challenge harmful self talk and retrain the brain to reduce anxious thoughts. I also have years of experience in the nursing field, which utilizes motivational interviewing heavily to encourage patient self-care, lifestyle modifications, and self-advocacy.
