I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with specialized training and expertise in caring for adolescents, adults, and older adults across a wide range of mental health concerns — including anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and attention or concentration challenges. I combine medication management with supportive, collaborative therapy, meaning I bring both clinical precision and genuine human connection to every appointment. I offer flexible scheduling and convenient telehealth options, so accessing quality care fits into your life rather than disrupting it. Most importantly, I am committed to creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel truly heard and supported — because I believe that is the foundation of meaningful healing.

Hello, I am a board-certified psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing telehealth mental health care for adults and elderly.

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.

I am beyond grateful to be able to provide a safe space for my client's to process stress, learn new things, and have their most vulnerable moments. So much of the time we try to ignore or push away our problems, but part of my job is to remind you that its okay not to be okay and sometimes life just sucks. I love helping teens and young adults with all of the transitions that come with growing up, the good and the bad. I also have experience with and enjoy working with individuals with Autism.
