My website

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over 20 years of experience in the field of psychiatry. My background includes working across a range of clinical settings, including inpatient, outpatient, and long-term care environments, where I have treated diverse populations with complex mental health needs. I hold a DEA license and am committed to providing safe, evidence-based care tailored to each individual.

My approach to care is patient-centered, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practice. I prioritize building a strong therapeutic alliance by actively listening, validating concerns, and involving clients in treatment decisions. I believe that effective psychiatric care requires an individualized plan that considers your mind and body.

The first session is also an opportunity to establish rapport and begin outlining a treatment plan. This may include discussing diagnostic impressions, reviewing potential medication options if indicated, and setting initial treatment goals. Clients can expect transparency, professionalism, and a focus on creating a plan that supports you.
