Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Seeking help takes courage, and I strive to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and respected without judgment. I believe that every person's story is unique, and mental health care should reflect that. My goal is to build a collaborative relationship where we work together to understand your concerns, identify your strengths, and develop a treatment plan that aligns with your values and goals.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide evidence-based medication management while taking the time to understand the whole person, not just symptoms.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Russellville, AR


I specialize in mood disorders, anxiety, and chronic pain — and I bring the same compassionate curiosity to every client I work with. I understand that reaching out for help can feel scary. Many of my clients come in worried they won't be believed, or anxious about how they'll be perceived. I want you to know that you are safe here — your experience is valid, and you will never be judged. Outside of the clinic, you'll find me knitting or tending to my freshwater aquariums, which keeps me grounded and reminds me to appreciate the slow, steady work of growth.
