Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Missouri


Patients in Missouri often look for clear guidance, fast access, and thoughtful medication support. My focus is helping adults understand their mental health symptoms and finding the right treatment plan that works for their life.

I specialize in psychiatric medication management for anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and stress-related conditions. Many of my patients come in feeling overwhelmed or unsure about medications, and my goal is to make the process simple, collaborative, and comfortable.

I work with patients across Missouri through secure telehealth visits so you can receive care from the comfort of your home. My approach is practical and focused — we work together to identify what is happening, review treatment options, and build a plan that helps you feel better and function better in daily life.

Whether you’re starting treatment for the first time or looking to adjust your current medications, I aim to provide clear guidance and thoughtful care every step of the way.

3322 South Campbell Avenue, Springfield, MO

I am a therapist and strategic behavioral‐health leader with more than a decade of experience supporting youth, families, and adults navigating complex trauma, transition, and systems involvement. My background spans emergency shelter work, foster‐care transition programs, community‐based counseling, and clinical supervision of multidisciplinary teams.

Clients often describe me as steady, collaborative, and deeply attuned to the stories people carry. I bring a trauma‐informed lens to every interaction, honoring the resilience people develop in the face of adversity. My work is shaped by years of program development, crisis intervention, and advocacy for underserved communities — and by a belief that healing grows in environments where people feel seen, safe, and respected.

I work with adults and young adults dealing with anxiety, panic attacks, low mood, high pressure, career changes, lack of motivation, emotional dysregulation, and major life transitions. If you feel stuck in negative thinking, unsure of your purpose, struggling with confidence, or having a hard time managing stress and boundaries, I help clients make sense of what is happening and start moving forward. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed by change and frustrated with how hard it has become to stay steady.

I connect with individuals facing challenges in emotional regulation, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, self-harm, and criminal justice involvement. Collaboratively we will set goals and learn skills to manage and/or reduce symptoms.

My commitment to you is simple: I will listen carefully, communicate openly, and act with integrity in every interaction. I’ll take the time to understand your unique goals, challenges, and values, and I’ll tailor my approach to meet your needs rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. You can expect transparency from me at every step. I’ll explain not only what I recommend, but why I recommend it, so you always feel informed and empowered to make decisions.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with extensive experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and concerns related to alcohol use. I especially enjoy working with clients who may appear capable and successful on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or disconnected from themselves.

My style is warm, conversational, nonjudgmental, and straightforward. I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable being yourself rather than feeling like you have to say the “right” thing in session. My goal is to understand both what you are struggling with and who you are as a person so that therapy feels relevant to your life.
