Welcome. I am a doctoral-prepared Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner committed to providing compassionate, personalized, and evidence-based mental health care in a safe and supportive environment. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma, and other behavioral health concerns across the lifespan, with a special passion for women’s mental health and wellness, including perinatal/postpartum care, hormonal mood changes, and holistic emotional well-being. My approach combines expert medication management, supportive therapy, and whole-person wellness strategies—empowering every client to feel heard, valued, and confident on their journey toward healing and lasting wellness.

Change happens when we feel safe enough to show up exactly as we are. I strive to build a therapeutic relationship grounded in authenticity, empathy, and trust—one where you can explore difficult emotions, make sense of your experiences, and reconnect with yourself. Wherever you are in your journey, I'll meet you there while supporting you in creating meaningful and lasting change.
