I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) providing compassionate, evidence-based care to adolescents and adults. My approach blends clinical expertise with a collaborative, patient-centered philosophy, I believe treatment works best when you feel heard, understood, and actively involved in your care.
I earned my graduate degree in psychiatric-mental health nursing from Northern Kentucky University and have experience treating a wide range of conditions, including anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, trauma-related conditions, mood disorders, and medication management for complex psychiatric presentations. My background includes working with individuals navigating life transitions, high-achieving professionals experiencing burnout, and patients seeking thoughtful, personalized medication management.
I specialize in comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management, with a focus on clarity, safety, and long-term stability. I aim to avoid overmedication while ensuring symptoms are effectively treated. When appropriate, I integrate supportive therapy techniques into sessions to help patients build insight, resilience, and practical coping strategies.
My practice is fully telehealth-based, allowing for convenient, private access to care. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable discussing what’s really going on — without judgment — and to work together toward meaningful, sustainable improvement in your mental health.
