Hi Y'all! I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I have been practicing for over 21 years. I am specially trained in co-occurring disorders of substance and mental health diagnoses.

I am a doctoral-prepared Psychiatric Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner (DNP, PMHNP-BC, FNP-BC) with over 12 years of clinical healthcare experience. At VeraMind Psychiatry, I bridge physical health and mental wellness to deliver comprehensive, patient-centered care. I specialize in evidence-based medication management and holistic support for adolescents (13+) and adults navigating anxiety, panic disorders, depression, sleep challenges, and women’s mental health.
I am a dedicated Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW)
with a wealth of experience providing direct therapeutic services to diverse populations.
With advanced degrees in Social Work and Child Development, I am skilled in
conducting complex bio-psychosocial and diagnostic assessments for children,
adolescents, and adults. I provide individualized, evidence-based treatment
for individuals, couples, and groups, addressing a broad range of behavioral health
challenges including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety,
adjustment disorder and grief. My clinical practice is grounded in a variety of proven
modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy
(CPT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a profound commitment to
patient care within demanding environments, including military and outpatient settings.
I have served as a primary therapist in the Army Embedded Behavioral Health clinics,
supported the Army Family Behavioral health Clinic, and provided on-call crisis support for
hospital emergency rooms. A core component of my work involves developing and
monitoring individualized treatment plans to ensure measurable progress and positive
outcomes for my clients. By providing specialized, person-centered counseling and
intervention, I empower my clients to achieve recovery and wellness.
Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, grief, or past trauma begin to take up more space than the life you want to live. You may be exhausted from carrying everything on your own, struggling to manage emotions, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. I work with adults and teens who are ready for change but may not know where to start. Together, we'll create a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to heal, build confidence, strengthen relationships, and move forward with greater clarity and purpose.

I bring both professional knowledge and lived experience to my work.
I am dedicated to providing the highest standard of care. I have over 15 years of experience providing therapy, crisis intervention, and performing psychological evaluations. This experience has allowed me to develop an advanced competency in addressing trauma, anxiety disorders, mood issues, and life transitions.
