I’ve worked in addiction counseling, treatment courts, and child protection—which means I’ve seen a lot, learned a lot, and developed a deep respect for the resilience people carry. I also happen to live with ADHD, so I have a soft spot for brains that zig when others zag. Whether you’re neurotypical or proudly outside-the-box, I love helping people untangle the messiness of life and find what works for them.

You have probably been managing this longer than you let on, to yourself or to the people around you.

I work with people across every stage of life, from children and teenagers to adults and seniors, and I have been doing this work long enough to know that no two people carry things the same way. Whether you are navigating anxiety, processing something painful from your past, managing shifts in mood, or simply trying to figure out who you want to become, I want to help you get there. My goal is to help you find the version of yourself that you actually want to be.

My patients can expect me to be warm, empathetic, and genuinely interested in their story. I take time to understand not just current struggles, but also personal history and experiences that have shaped who they are. I believe that mental health is deeply connected to overall health, and treating psychiatric conditions can positively impact all areas of life. I work with all patients and conditions, and I always meet people where they are. If someone isn’t ready for medications, I fully support their choice and will be there to provide guidance, education, and care until the time feels right for them. Above all, I listen, I value each person’s perspective, and I aim to create a safe space where patients feel truly heard.

Some pain doesn't get easier with time. It just gets more familiar.

I work with people who have been carrying something heavy for a long time: survivors of childhood neglect and trauma, people navigating the aftermath of sexual, physical, emotional, or religious violence, and those whose sense of self has been fractured by relational or spiritual betrayal. I also work with Veterans living with PTSD, depression, and substance use, and with thoughtful professionals seeking deep, ongoing therapy to work through disrupted beliefs or a life that has lost its meaning. My practice is open to people across the full lifespan, including children and adolescents.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who provides practical, person-centered telepsychiatry for adolescents and. My practice primarily focuses on psychiatric evaluation and medication management, with supportive therapy and skills-based interventions offered as appropriate during follow-up visits.

My style is warm, practical, evidence-based, and non-judgmental. I work with clients to better understand their symptoms, review treatment options, and develop a medication plan that is thoughtful, individualized, and easy to follow. Common areas of treatment include anxiety, depression, mood disorders, sleep concerns, and life stressors that impact mental health.

I value safety, transparency, and shared decision-making. We’ll discuss medication options, potential benefits, risks, and alternatives in plain language, including when it may make sense to adjust, simplify, or titrate medications. I offer supportive therapy that may be incorporated into medication management visits.

Visits are 100% virtual for your convenience. I offer evening, and weekend availability, and clear communication between sessions for urgent medication-related concerns. I accept insurance through Headway and welcome new clients.
