Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Provider with caring, compassionate, and empathetic attitude in responding to the needs of clients. I work with adults seeking support with their health and path forward. My approach centers on patient-centered care, active listening, engagement, and partnership. I take time to understand what brings you in and create a plan tailored to your needs. I believe care works best when you feel heard, respected, and involved in each step. You are more than a diagnosis or a checklist. Together, we can build a trusting relationship, identify practical next steps, and move toward care that feels very supportive, thoughtful, and right for you.

Hello, I am a board-certified psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing telehealth mental health care for adults and elderly. I have 13 years of experience inpatient/outpatient working with individuals experiencing mental health crisis such as Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Bipolar d/o (mood changes), Psychotic disorders (thought changes), OCD, and PTSD, post- partum depression, stress and life transitions. I know that starting treatment can feel intimidating, so I focus on creating a comfortable, supportive, and non- judgmental space where you can talk openly about your concerns.

I believe mental health care should be personalized. Everyone’s experience is different, and I take time to listen and understand what you are going through before recommending treatment. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and confident in your care.
