Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Wellington, FL

I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a Doctorate in Nursing Practice. I've been a registered nurse since 2009 and a Nurse Practitioner since 2018, with extensive experience in inpatient mental health and addiction treatment settings.

I specialize in medication management for treating complex mental health conditions and substance use disorders, including experience in coordinating and administering long-acting injections to support long-term stability and recovery. I bring both clinical expertise and grounded compassion to every appointment. When we work together, we'll develop a treatment plan tailored to what matters most to you, because you're always the expert on your own life.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Master Certified Addiction Professional with a deep passion for motivating and advocating for my clients.

My approach to therapy is rooted in meeting you where you are. I believe healing begins in a space where you feel safe, understood, and accepted without judgment. Together, we'll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, creating room to explore your experiences with curiosity and compassion.

I have a passion for helping clients understand how their past experiences have shaped the way they think, feel, and respond today. As we begin to recognize these patterns, they often become less overwhelming. Rather than judging the ways you've learned to cope, we'll work toward understanding them with compassion while exploring new ways to meet your needs and navigate life's challenges.

I view therapy as a collaborative process. My role isn't to tell you who you should be, but to help you reconnect with the strengths you already have while developing new tools to support your growth. Whether you're working through anxiety, trauma, grief, or a major life transition, my goal is to help you build a deeper connection with yourself, cultivate greater self-compassion, and develop a stronger sense of your own worth. I believe meaningful change happens when we feel seen, understood, and empowered to move forward in a way that feels authentic to who we are.
