Together, we'll address challenges in your relationships—with partners, spouses, family members, friends, or colleagues—as well as the demands of caregiving for children, loved ones, or aging parents.

I welcome individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds, including clients of all genders, ethnicities, races, and LGBTQ+ identities.

All therapy sessions are offered virtually, providing convenient, confidential care from the comfort of your own home.

You deserve a place where you feel heard, understood, and supported. If you're ready to take the next step, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can work toward healing, growth, and a more fulfilling life.

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a unique background. Before becoming a provider, I spent 9 years as a registered nurse working closely with people experiencing mental health challenges. That experience taught me the importance of listening, understanding each person’s story, and treating the whole person not just the diagnosis.
