My ideal client is someone who feels overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted from trying to hold everything together. They may struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, mood instability, or ADHD, and often feel they’ve “tried everything” without lasting relief. They want stability, clarity, and hope—not just symptom reduction, but the ability to function, work, connect, and feel like themselves again.

My personal experience overcoming chronic mental suffering, addictions, and emotional disorders compelled me to enter the mental health field. My greatest desire is to help others find the relief I have found by creating a path that leads to peace, healing, and restoration of the mind, body, and spiritual connection. My approach starts from the ground up rather than the top down through uncovering root causes that contribute to mental suffering.

In 2023, after 18 years as a BSN nurse in both clinical and managerial roles, I chose to advance my career as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMPMH), motivated by the loss of my adult son to addiction and mental health issues. This experience motivated me to assist others dealing with significant challenges in managing adversity and improving their lives.

Hello! Have you been actively reflecting on your patterns—your thoughts, reactions, and ways of coping—and ready to understand them more deeply? You may not have everything figured out, but you’re curious, self-aware, and willing to engage in meaningful inner work, even when it’s uncomfortable. You might be navigating a significant life transition: a health diagnosis, menopause or hormonal changes, aging and the shifts that come with it, or the emotional weight of caring for aging parents. These changes may have stirred up anxiety, grief, irritability, or a sense of “Who am I now?”
