I help high-achieving adults and young professionals who look “okay” on the outside but feel anxious, sad, overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck on the inside. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and practical — combining real conversations, meaningful coping strategies, and evidence-based medication support when appropriate. As a Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide both therapy and medication management so you don’t have to choose between talking and treatment. Together, we’ll figure out what’s working, what’s not, and what will actually help!
I draw on CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, Behavioral Activation, and Positive Psychology to help you build coping skills, regulate emotions, and break patterns that keep you stuck. If medication could help, we’ll talk about it openly so you can make informed, pressure-free decisions.
You don’t have to keep carrying all of this alone. Our sessions give you space to breathe, be honest, and feel less alone — especially if you’re dealing with overthinking, self-doubt, worry, burnout, trauma, sleep disruption, people-pleasing, or the emotional weight of always being the strong one! If you’re ready for care that’s real, contact me today!

No small talk. No judgment. Just honest conversations about the things that keep you up at night: stress, grief, difficulty relaxing, panic feelings, emotional overwhelm, struggles with boundaries, and everything in between. Drawing from both my professional training and lived experience, I know what it's like to rebuild after change and to carry things you don't always talk about.
