I typically work with individuals facing challenges with ADHD. My ideal clients seek to gain clarity, build resilience, and rediscover joy in their lives. Their ultimate aim is to effectively manage their symptoms, so they can pursue their goals and lead a more satisfying and productive life.
As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I specialize in treating ADHD and anxiety with a personalized approach. I provide medication management and therapy that address your specific circumstances. I prioritize building a trusting therapeutic relationship, equipping you with practical tools and skills to navigate your mental health challenges.
I recognize that reaching out for support is a courageous step, and I want you to feel comfortable in this journey. I am here to guide you through understanding and managing your symptoms with empathy and care. Together, we can explore effective strategies for overcoming obstacles and moving toward a more fulfilling life.

"
I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and 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."
