Many of the patients I work with are managing work, school, family, and daily life successfully on the outside — while internally feeling overwhelmed, anxious, mentally exhausted, or stuck. Some are first responders, healthcare workers, veterans, or military family members carrying weight that rarely gets acknowledged. Others are simply going through a hard season. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, burnout, or sleep — and want to feel more like themselves again. I help by listening carefully, explaining the reasoning behind each recommendation, and building a treatment plan that feels manageable.
I'm a board-certified PMHNP with 13 years of clinical experience — a decade in primary care, 7 years in corrections, and earlier work as an EMT. I provide medication management for teens (13+), adults, and seniors, treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, uncomplicated bipolar, PTSD, sleep, stress, and perinatal mood concerns — with a whole-person lens.
Seeking psychiatric care can feel like a big step, especially if you've been managing on your own. My goal is to make the process calm, supportive, and straightforward. If you're wondering whether medication might help you, your teen, or a family member, I invite you to reach out — I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can see if we're a fit.

I help adolescents and adults with anxiety, depression, ADHD, sleep disorders, stress and burnout, perinatal mood changes, and mild to moderate PTSD. A typical plan starts with a thorough 60-minute intake, then regular medication check-ins to fine-tune dosing. You can expect clearer thinking, steadier moods, and a real sense of forward progress.
