If this sounds familiar, maybe I can help: Doing your best to make it through each day, but feeling stuck? Is anxiety getting in the way of the life you want, or has depression taken away what once mattered? I use evidence-based approaches to help you reconnect with yourself, build on your strengths (yes, you have them!), and develop tools to feel more capable and in control. My style is warm and compassionate, yet honest and direct when needed. Your story is unique, so our work will be tailored to you. Academic and professional training at top universities includes psychotherapy and medication management.
Board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner serving rural VA and TN. I provide individualized therapy, holistic care, and medication management, based on your goals and needs. I work with teens, young adults, pregnant and postpartum parents, and adults navigating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, substance use, and life transitions.
Come as you are. Haven’t showered in days, kids in background, on your phone? You’re welcome here—this is your time and a judgment-free space. I’m an avid outdoors-person who grew up poor in urban New Jersey and later discovered the healing power of nature. I welcome everyone regardless of background, race, or politics.

I started my training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and CBT for insomnia at Duke University and continued the certification process through the Beck Institute. I use CBT to help patients understand how their past affects their thoughts and how these thoughts affect their actions. So, just because you think it, doesn't mean it's real! Let's get started today!
