Accepting new clients with immediate availability!—My journey in healthcare has shown me that a holistic approach to mental health is essential. My approach encompasses medication management, when necessary, but I am equally devoted to exploring non-pharmacological interventions that feel most comfortable for you. I advocate for lifestyle interventions as a cornerstone of mental well-being. Just as you might have a personal trainer for your body, I see my role as helping you develop and nurture your mind. Mental health is an investment in your mind, and it deserves the same attention and care as any other aspect of your health.

I am a licensed psychiatric nurse practitioner based in Virginia, seeing clients statewide via telehealth. I have 14 years of experience in psychiatric prescribing.
My approach:
I work hand-in-hand with individuals to formulate comprehensive evidence-based treatment plans. I don't push medications; instead, I discuss medication options, risks and benefits, alternatives to medications, and provide supportive therapy. I recognize that our sessions are a sacred space, in which people often make themself emotionally vulnerable. As such, I always approach my clients with respect and compassion.

My clients are people who have always suspected that the full picture of their health is bigger and more interconnected than any fifteen-minute appointment was ever going to reach. They may have tried conventional psychiatry and felt unseen, or managed symptoms for years without ever understanding the root. They are self-aware, often high-functioning, and ready for care that takes all of it seriously at once — mental health, hormones, metabolism, nervous system, and beyond. They come to Bliss because they are done with partial answers.

NOT Accepting New Clients at this time: I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with a special interest in working with adults experiencing life disruptions from anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD, and some mood disorders. I received my Bachelor’s in Science in Nursing from South University. After graduating from nursing school, I was an ER nurse for 8 years, where I experienced firsthand the gap between medical and psychiatric care, and how the mind/body connection is often ignored. These gaps encouraged me to pursue my PMHNP degree. I received my Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University.
