I am a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I graduated from Walden University in 2020 with my MSN and focus in psychiatry as a nurse practitioner. I have been a nurse for about seven years with experience in inpatient psychiatry, medical surgical, ER crisis management, forensic and detox nursing. Psychiatry is dear to my heart and I enjoy advocating for mental healthcare. The mind, body and soul make up wellness and health, so without the proper mental health treatment, holistic care is incomplete.

If you're feeling unsteady—whether it's due to anxiety, burnout, or a shift in mood you can't quite explain—you're not alone. I've sat beside people in hospital rooms during their most difficult moments, and now I help clients navigate similar challenges through therapy. My early career as a trauma nurse shaped my understanding of how mental and physical pain are deeply connected. That experience inspired me to pursue psychiatric care, where I could offer not just treatment but hope. Today, I work with young adults and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, ADHD, schizophrenia, and schizoaffective disorder.

Living with anxiety or OCD can feel overwhelming—racing thoughts, worry, or rituals that take away peace of mind. You may have tried to push through, but the stress keeps returning. What you want most is relief, clarity, and confidence to move through your day without being controlled by fear or compulsions. You’re looking for care that not only reduces symptoms, but also helps you understand yourself, regain balance, and create lasting change.

Women's Issues Psychiatrists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
