Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Trenton, FL


I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to making high-quality mental health care accessible to everyone, especially individuals in underserved and rural communities. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of caring for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults in homes, assisted living facilities, group homes, and through telehealth.

I believe mental health care should be compassionate, collaborative, and free of judgment. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief, or another mental health concern, we’ll work together to build a treatment plan that fits your life, not someone else’s.

I combine evidence-based medicine with a whole-person approach, recognizing that sleep, stress, relationships, physical health, and daily habits all play an important role in emotional well-being. My priority is helping you feel better while empowering you with the tools to thrive long after our appointments.

Feeling burnt out, unfulfilled, uninspired, and/or just not good? Looking for a holistic approach to therapy that will allow you to get back on your feet again and live a life you can be fully present for? Are you struggling with chronic stress, anxiety, and depression? Are past traumas and unhelpful patterns showing up in your jobs, relationships and other areas of your life? Let's work together to create a plan for you to be able to navigate your unique circumstances. Now offering business coaching to navigate hurdles that show up as a business owner.

I provide trauma-informed person-centered therapy. Additionally the modalities I like to work with are EMDR, IFS, existential, the use of mindfulness & somatic therapy. Whatever your therapeutic goal is, let's work together to determine what will be most helpful to you.

I will listen to your story and provide a space for you to process heavy emotions, trauma, grief, and other challenges that may come up. I understand that traditional talk therapy can feel scary, intimidating, and/or unknown if you haven't experienced it which is why I offer other options. Reach out and let's discuss your goals and what works best for you!

Hello, and I’m glad you’re here. Whether this is your first experience with therapy or you’ve been in therapy before, reaching out can be a big step. My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and judgment-free space where you feel comfortable being yourself and talking openly about what’s going on.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 20 years of experience providing therapy and leading clinical teams. My background includes community mental health, residential mental health and substance use treatment, and crisis services. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with adults, children, adolescents, and families navigating a wide range of concerns and life experiences.

I have advanced training and experience supporting people with trauma, anxiety and depression, substance use, grief and loss, and the unique challenges faced by children and adolescents. I believe therapy should be collaborative and tailored to you—not a one-size-fits-all approach. Together, we’ll identify what you want to work on, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to help you move toward the life you want.
