Struggling with addiction, anxiety, or depression can make your world feel small. My passion is helping you expand it again. As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I offer more than just a prescription; I offer a partnership. Through interpersonal therapy and specialized medication management, we will address the root of your struggles so you can start excelling in the life you’ve worked so hard to build.
I offer adolescents and young adults a space to meet their treatment goals through group and individualized therapy. I specialize in addiction counselling and medication management. At my practice my dedicated team will work to meet each client's individualized goals.

I often use motivational interviewing in my practice. In the first sessions we focus on your presentation, find out where there are discrepancies, what we can change or work to improve and recognize the necessary changes to achieve optimal health. Through CBT we look at how thoughts affect the choices that make and how our experiences can be used to bring about change.
