I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing evidence-based psychiatric care for adolescents, adults, and older adults. Many of the individuals I work with are seeking support for depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, and other complex mental health concerns. Some are navigating trauma, chronic stress, or recovery from substance use disorders. I also work with veterans, first responders, and justice-involved individuals seeking mental health stabilization, improved daily functioning, and long-term emotional wellness and recovery.
I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and medication management for depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma-related conditions, ADHD, and substance use disorders. My approach emphasizes safe, evidence-based prescribing, careful monitoring, and individualized treatment planning to support symptom stability and improved daily life.
Seeking help for mental health concerns can feel overwhelming, especially when symptoms begin affecting daily life, relationships, or emotional balance. My goal is to provide a respectful and collaborative environment where we work together to understand your concerns and develop a treatment plan that supports stability, confidence, and long-term wellness.
