I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. My ideal clients are adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, ADHD, and navigating life transitions. I work with individuals that feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted and are seeking clarity, stability, and support. I provide compassionate, patient-centered care through medication management, supportive therapy, and evidence-based interventions. I collaborate closely with clients to build coping skills, enhance emotional regulation, and implement practical, sustainable strategies for long-term mental wellness.
I help individuals navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and life transitions through patient-centered care. I integrate medication management with CBT, motivational interviewing, and supportive therapy. I provide a collaborative, nonjudgmental space to build coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and support lasting wellness.
Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, especially when you’ve been carrying so much on your own. You don’t have to navigate this alone. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. When you’re ready, I welcome the opportunity to walk alongside you toward healing, clarity, and meaningful change.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns that affect your emotions and experiences. I also use Motivational Interviewing to explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change. Supportive Therapy provides guidance, encouragement, and coping strategies to build resilience and improve well-being.
