Let's find the words together. You may be carrying more than people realize, whether that's ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, burnout, or ongoing stress. You don't have to have it all figured out before reaching out.
I'm a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), Certified Case Manager (CCM), and ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP), with more than 15 years of nursing experience across behavioral health, case management, dialysis, and nephrology. That background helps me see the whole person, including how physical health, medical conditions, and life stressors affect your mental health.
I offer psychiatric evaluations, medication management, supportive therapy, and objective ADHD testing for adults. I also welcome clients living with chronic kidney disease or receiving dialysis. Insurance coverage varies by plan.
