My passion is helping people navigate anxiety, depression, and life transitions across the lifespan. I support those facing challenges in young adulthood, work stress, self-confidence struggles, impostor syndrome, relationship and family conflict, parenting, retirement, and the search for meaning at every stage of life. Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!

Hi there! I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to helping adults navigate life’s transitions, stress, and mental health challenges.

My practice blends precise medical management with supportive, evidence-based therapy to look at you as a whole person, not just a list of symptoms. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and ADHD, with a particular focus on young adults and professionals navigating career, academic, or personal life changes.

It's difficult making the first phone call, booking an appointment and admitting you need help. Whether it's depression, anxiety, a mood disorder or trauma, it's frightening to admit that everything isn't how you want it to be and you don't have all the answers. If you're experiencing sadness, anxiety, mood swings, intrusive thoughts or images, flash backs, numbness or insomnia, there is hope and there is help. I'm going to teach you skills to manage you symptoms, emotions and relationships more effectively.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I strongly believe in working together to achieve your goals. My main focus is working with adults who are struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression or overall stress. I accept insurance through headway and provide services via simplepractice telehealth.

Como Trabajadora Social Clínica Licenciada, creo firmemente en trabajar juntos para alcanzar tus objetivos. Mi enfoque principal es trabajar con adultos que enfrentan trauma, ansiedad, depresión o estrés en general. Acepto seguros a través de Headway y brindo servicios a través de la plataforma de telesalud SimplePractice.

I have always been interested in what makes each of us who we are and how we relate to others. Throughout my training to become a clinical psychologist, I trained in many different settings including university counseling centers, hospitals, community mental health centers and private practices. I ultimately chose to open my own practice so that I could have the freedom to meet each client's specific needs. I am so grateful for the ability to walk alongside each of my clients as they navigate the challenges and joys of life.

You dreamed of what becoming a mother would feel like — and maybe this isn’t it. You’re exhausted in ways you didn’t expect. You’re anxious, or numb, or you can’t stop the intrusive thoughts. You love your baby and yet you feel lost inside your own life. That disconnect is real, and it makes sense.

I specialize in supporting mothers through the emotional weight of the perinatal period; from pregnancy through the postpartum years. This includes birth trauma, postpartum anxiety and depression, intrusive thoughts, and the profound stress of a NICU stay or premature birth. If your baby’s early days were shaped by fear, separation, or medical uncertainty, you don’t have to carry that alone.

In our work together, you won’t be rushed, minimized, or handed a generic coping list. You’ll have space to say the things you haven’t been able to say out loud and to slowly feel like yourself again.

I offer virtual sessions, making it easy to get support from the comfort of your home — no babysitter required.
