I work with clients who have a history of trauma, or addiction, and I have worked extensively with the LGBTQIA+ community. I provide psychotropic medication management but work best with clients also open to alternative modalities in addition to medication. Because of my addiction background, I limit the use of controlled substances, such as benzos and stimulants, but I am aware that there is a place for these meds in some treatment plans.

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.
