I’m a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner with over 16 years of experience in healthcare. I’m passionate about supporting individuals and families as they navigate mental health challenges, trauma, and life transitions. I work with adults balancing family and work demands while managing anxiety, depression, or past experiences. My goal is to help each person strengthen their sense of connection, well-being, and self-awareness through compassionate, personalized care.
I earned my Master’s in Nursing from Maryville University. My approach is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and a trauma-informed perspective. I incorporate cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and holistic techniques to meet the unique needs of each client and foster a safe space for growth and healing.
I understand that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, but it’s also an empowering act of courage and self-care. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone, and together we can work toward balance, healing, and renewed hope. I invite you to take the next step toward the care and connection you deserve.
