True North vs Magnetic North

Magnetic North:

The places in life that we are drawn to naturally based on our upbringing, experiences, personality, strengths, weaknesses, our victories and our defeats. This is what I refer to as "Magnetic North."

True North:

The places where we would like to be in life, but obstacles are in the way of us arriving at our destiny. Our potential for a better life is what I refer to as "True North.'

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Seeking help isn't always easy, and I believe finding the right provider should feel like a good fit, not just another appointment. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), my goal is to create a space where you can speak openly, feel genuinely heard, and know that we're working together as a team.

I enjoy caring for individuals across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. I treat anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma-related concerns, OCD, insomnia, and other mental health challenges. I also help people navigate grief, life transitions, caregiver stress, and the emotional impact that chronic medical conditions can have on everyday life.

I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Every person has a different story, and treatment should reflect that. Whether we're discussing medication, coping strategies, or lifestyle changes, I want you to feel informed, comfortable asking questions, and involved in every decision we make.

My hope is that you leave each appointment feeling understood, supported, and with a clear plan for moving forward.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who believes mental health care should feel a lot more human and a lot less like being talked at for 15 minutes and handed a prescription. My background includes emergency, critical care, and procedural nursing, so I’m naturally curious about the whole picture—not just a diagnosis on a chart.

I especially enjoy working with women dealing with ADHD, anxiety, depression, PMDD, burnout, and the emotional chaos that can come with perimenopause and other major life transitions. My approach is evidence-based, hormone-informed, collaborative, and very much “you stay in the driver’s seat.”

I’m not interested in throwing medications at symptoms and hoping something sticks. I want to understand what’s going on in your brain, your body, and your actual life so we can build a treatment plan that makes sense for you. Expect questions, education, honesty, a little humor when appropriate, and a provider who genuinely wants you to feel heard instead of dismissed.
