I work with high functioning adults who appear successful on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted within. Many struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, sleep concerns, or burnout. They want clarity, stability, and renewed confidence. As a Doctor of Nursing Practice and dual certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 18 years of experience, I provide compassionate, evidence based care that supports healing of mind, body, and soul.
I treat anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, OCD, eating disorders, and ADHD. With my FNP and PMHNP background, I understand how chronic pain, hormonal and endocrine imbalances, and neurological conditions impact mental health. I provide comprehensive, integrated care that addresses both emotional symptoms and underlying medical factors to support
If you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or tired of managing everything alone, you are not weak and you are not broken. Seeking support is a sign of strength. Healing is possible with the right guidance and care. When you are ready to feel more balanced, confident, and in control of your life, I am here to walk that path with you.
