With over 20 years in healthcare and working as a Family Nurse Practitioner, the desire to treat patients better as a “whole” combined with the COVID pandemic of 2020 nearly caused me to stop providing care entirely. Essentially, I was fed up with the medical care being offered to many. Instead of walking away from patient care, I chose a different path. My focus shifted to treating the mental health of the patients & families I have compassionately taken care of in the past,

I am a dual board-certified nurse practitioner. I graduated with my Family NP at Grand Canyon University in 2018.I graduated with my post-graduate cert as a Psychiatric Mental Nurse Practitioner at Wilkes University in 2022.I am constantly looking forward to continue my education to better serve my patients and to ensure that I am up-to-date with the latest advances in the fields of medicine and psychiatry.You will be treated with holistic care that combines traditional and alternative medicine.

Taking the first step is hard — my job is to make it easier. I provide supportive, personalized medication management for ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and more.

I have a Master's degree in Social Work and have worked for many years in Florida and Arizona helping adults with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, healing from PTSD trauma and addictions.

Healing can begin with considering how past experiences have shaped your view of self, emotional patterns, and relationships with others. Grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and the weight of patterns carried across a lifetime have a way of becoming invisible — so woven into daily life that they no longer feel like patterns at all. This is how things seem.

You may have tried to push through, stay busy, or simply manage — and found yourself back in the same place, wondering why nothing seems to stick. What many people don't realize is that the experiences keeping them stuck aren't just stored in memory — they live in the body. In the tension you hold without knowing it. In the way your breath shifts in certain rooms, around certain people, in certain moments that shouldn't feel as heavy as they do.

This is where the real work happens — not just in understanding what you've been through, but in helping your nervous system finally catch up to what your mind already knows. I bring a particular kind of presence to this work — calm, grounded, and genuinely unshakeable. Not because the hard stuff doesn't land, but because it doesn't destabilize me. For clients carrying trauma, that steadiness matters more than almost anything else. You need someone who can hold the full weight of what you bring in without flinching — and keep showing up the same way, session after session.

What we build together goes beyond the therapy room. Complex relationship patterns, grief, and the slow erosion of self-confidence are connected — shaped by the same experiences, reinforcing the same conclusions about who you are and what you deserve. We'll trace those connections, understand what your nervous system has been protecting, and build something more sustainable than simply getting through the day.

My approach to care integrates psychotherapy with medication management. I provide therapy for patients whose psychiatric medications I also manage, allowing for a coordinated and personalized treatment plan that supports both emotional and medical aspects of mental health.
