I understand that seeking help can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or mood changes. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I provide compassionate, evidence-based care focused on helping you regain stability and move forward with confidence. I earned my MSN from Eastern Kentucky University and my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Missouri State University.

Therapy for women whose inner critic never clocks out, and for men who have mastered success but not their emotions. I’m the therapist for you if you find yourself feeling guilty for not being "productive," struggling to sleep at night because your mind is racing, or feeling like your values are at odds with what's expected of you. If you're having trouble saying no to people without guilt, with a partner who is always wanting more from you, feeling guilt or shame for having needs and emotions, then I’m the person to help you extend success into your personal life.
