I am a board certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, who strongly believes mental wellness is the framework for a well-balanced a healthy lifestyle. The most challenging part is asking for help and you've jumped that hurdle. I have been in nursing for over 10 years with a background in med-surg, cardio telemetry, emergency medicine and psychiatric care. Regardless of the setting, I have witnessed many patients struggle, but most importantly, I have also witnessed patients pull-through and overcome. I've treated patients with substance abuse disorders, anxiety, depression, and a list of others.

Therapist

Hello and welcome! I believe therapy should feel supportive, practical, and human. I work with individuals, couples, and families who may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in relationship patterns, or unsure how to move forward. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard and understood while also helping you build tools you can use in your everyday life.

My style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. Together, we may work on understanding patterns, managing stress, improving communication, setting healthier boundaries, processing emotions, and strengthening your connection with yourself and others.
