My approach is centered on the belief that the most important thing I can do is listen to your story—focusing on "what happened to you" rather than "what is wrong with you." In our initial sessions, expect to have my undivided attention as we explore your unique journey. This team approach allows us to craft a personalized treatment plan that may include therapy, meds, or a combination of both—specifically for you. I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations, providing culturally competent care that respects each individual’s unique background. My work reflects my commitment to prioritize safety/trust/empowerment.
As a double board-certified PMHNP/FNP, I specialize in helping individuals across the lifespan navigate the mental and physical health challenges that impact daily life. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, bipolar depression, trauma, PTSD, sleep, ADHD, or a combination of these, I am here to support you on your journey toward healing and well-being.
I believe in the uniqueness and wholeness of every individual. Your life, your story, and your path to healing are unlike anyone else’s, and I honor that. With this in mind, I create a treatment approach that is as distinct as you are. I'm deeply passionate about my work because you deserve to heal, to live, and to become the best version of yourself!

I often use CBT, medication or a combination of both in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to seek help, then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
