Are you struggling with feelings that you can't quite put into words? Have you attempted to mask this with unhealthy behaviors and coping that has led to guilt, shame or self-doubt? Maybe just being forced to "push through" because life has given you no other alternatives. Potentially these emotions have gotten in the way of your success and or every day life (job, school, relationships), and, you have turned to every avenue for help, but still not found yourself feeling any better? If this is you then your feelings are valid. I help individuals who are struggling to get unstuck in tackling the many challenges of life.


My approach is individualized and non-judgmental. It is important for me to take the time to help you feel safe and comfortable enough to be your true and authentic self. I see everyone's journey as unique within its own right. I believe that the experiences from our past help shape and define our present sometimes being embedded in our subconscious.


Whether you are new to therapy and anxious about taking that first step, or returning after a long haul, I am here to help you take the steps needed to move your life in the ways of your own choosing. My hope is help you bring clarity to your experiences while supporting you in your journey towards transcendence.

I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a Doctorate in Nursing from the University of Tennessee–Knoxville. My experience working with diverse communities—including time spent in Georgia—has shaped my commitment to providing care that’s accessible, compassionate, and truly supportive.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and PTSD. My approach is personalized and evidence-based, with a focus on genuine outreach—building meaningful connections that help you feel understood, valued, and empowered.

My goal is to create a safe, comfortable space where you can openly share your experiences and collaborate on a treatment plan that supports your growth, stability, and long-term well-being.

Medication Disclaimer: I do not prescribe stimulants, benzodiazepines, opioids or other potentially addictive medications commonly encountered in psychiatric practice. My prescribing philosophy prioritizes safety, long-term wellness, and evidence-based care.
