Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Florida


I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who believes mental health care should feel collaborative, individualized, and judgment-free. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and actively involved in your treatment.

I work with adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and other mental health concerns. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I take time to understand your symptoms, lifestyle, medical history, and personal goals. When appropriate, I also consider factors such as sleep, nutrition, physical health, and laboratory findings that may be contributing to how you feel.

Medication can be an important tool, but it’s only one part of mental health care. Together, we’ll develop a practical treatment plan focused on helping you feel better, function better, and improve your overall quality of life.
