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.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

I specialize in treating bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety, with a particular focus on ADHD. My approach centers on compassion, honesty, and cultural competence. I want every client to feel genuinely seen and understood, not just heard. Many of the people I work with come to me feeling overwhelmed, depressed, or caught in cycles of mood instability, often after carrying those feelings alone for a long time. I bring patience and clear, effective communication to every session, so you never feel rushed or unsure of what comes next in your care.

Finding psychiatric care where you feel truly heard—rather than rushed through an appointment—can be challenging. As a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I provide thorough psychiatric evaluations and personalized medication management for adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, mood disorders, depression, and major life transitions.

My clinical background spans high-acuity critical care and outpatient psychiatry, giving me a grounded, whole-person perspective on mental wellness. I look closely at how physical health, sleep, daily routines, and brain chemistry interact so we can address the root causes of what is holding you back. If you are looking for clarity, diagnostic precision, and a supportive medical provider to guide your care, I welcome the opportunity to partner with you.
