I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 10 years of work experience and a dedication to providing empathetic and comprehensive mental health care. I enjoy working with patients of all ages and backgrounds to find the most suitable treatment model based on their diagnoses and mental health needs. My areas of expertise encompass depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, eating disorders, addiction, and other psychiatric disorders.
I earned a Doctorate in Nursing from the University of Alabama. I specialize in diagnosing and treating a broad spectrum of psychiatric conditions. These include pharmacological interventions where treatment goals are discussed and patients are guided through medication management to help them meet their therapeutic goals.
I provide psychotherapy and psychiatric services with empathy and respect, guiding clients through every step of their journey. If you’re seeking support and understanding, I invite you to reach out.
