I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 8 years of experience providing psychiatric care. My background includes inpatient and outpatient behavioral health care, as well as experience working with geriatric patients in long-term care settings. I specialize in medication management and support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, personality disorders, and autism. I also work with clients navigating substance use, trauma, parenting challenges, caregiver burnout, and major life stressors. My goal is to create a supportive environment where clients feel heard and understood.
I earned my master’s in nursing from Shenandoah University. I provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management through both in-person and telehealth visits, while taking a holistic approach that considers medical, lifestyle, and emotional factors that may influence mental health.
I believe the best outcomes occur when clients feel supported and actively involved in their care. Whether you are beginning your mental health journey or seeking ongoing medication management, I strive to provide compassionate, collaborative care that helps you move toward improved well-being and stability.
