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.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Springfield, MO


My ideal client is someone who feels overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck - whether from the pressures of work, family, trauma, or life transitions. They may be experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD symptoms, or the lingering effects of trauma. Many are high functioning professionals, first responders, healthcare workers, or veterans who've spent years putting others first and are now realizing their own mental health needs attention. They're seeking a provider who listens, validates, and offers practical, stigma-free care to ease symptoms, improve focus and sleep, and regain balance with a collaborative, holistic plan.
