I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience delivering high-quality mental health and medical care across a variety of clinical settings. My background includes inpatient and partial hospitalization work with children, adolescents, adults, and geriatrics patients, addiction treatment, as well as leadership roles in hemodialysis care.
I’m passionate about creating individualized, evidence-based treatment plans that help patients achieve stability and long-term success. Over the years, I’ve developed strong competencies in psychiatric evaluations, crisis intervention, interdisciplinary collaboration, and quality improvement initiatives.
I also have experience leading clinical teams, supporting compliance efforts, and implementing safety protocols across multiple facilities. Whether I’m providing direct care or leading team- based initiatives, I remain focused on delivering compassionate, results-driven care that puts patients first.
