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.

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


I’ve spent years sitting with people at their lowest—through addiction, crisis, and the kind of pain that can make life feel unmanageable. That work taught me something I bring into every session now: nobody is “too much,” and no story is too messy. These days, I’m more focused on slower, steadier work. Whether you’re worn down by depression, gripping through stress, or finally ready to be honest about drinking or using, I’ll meet you where you are with steadiness, honesty, and compassion. You don’t need the right words yet; we’ll figure it out together.
