I provide psychiatric medication management blended with true, compassionate talk therapy for children, teens, and adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and behavioral dysregulation. Many of my clients are families seeking clear, specialized autism and ADHD evaluations or individuals who feel overwhelmed trying to find accessible, trauma-informed care. They often worry about being rushed. I help them move forward by offering a collaborative, strengths-based approach. Together, we set meaningful goals at a comfortable pace, ensuring they feel deeply heard.
I specialize in psychiatric medication management, autism and ADHD pediatric evaluations, and lifespan mental health. Backed by 15+ years of crisis and acute psychiatric RN experience, I offer trauma-informed telehealth and in-person care. I blend physical and psychiatric assessments with family-centered psychoeducation to support your needs.
Taking the first step toward care can feel daunting, but you do not have to carry this weight alone. Your story matters, and you deserve a safe space to process it. I am here to help you build the self-understanding and confidence needed for your recovery journey. If you are ready to take that next step, please reach out today.
