If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, family conflict, or life transitions, you're not alone. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from loved ones, or unsure how to move forward. Others are navigating communication struggles, changes in important relationships, women's issues, or difficult life circumstances that leave them feeling overwhelmed and unsupported.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor with 8 years of experience, I provide a supportive, collaborative space where you can feel heard, understood, and respected. My goal is to help you identify what's contributing to your challenges, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools that support healing, healthier relationships, and meaningful personal growth.

I am a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with more than 13 years of healthcare experience. I earned my Family Nurse Practitioner degree from South University and completed my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner training through Wilkes University.

My passion is helping people understand the "why" behind their symptoms, not just treating them. While I provide evidence-based psychiatric care, I also specialize in taking a deeper look at the factors that may be contributing to mental health concerns. My background in both primary care and psychiatry allows me to recognize the strong connection between the brain and body and approach care from a more comprehensive perspective.

I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma-related concerns, stress, and life transitions. In addition to traditional psychiatric treatment, I have a special interest in integrative and root-cause psychiatry. Together, we may explore how sleep, nutrition, gut health, hormones, inflammation, physical health, chronic stress, and lifestyle factors can influence emotional well-being and overall functioning.

I believe that meaningful change often happens when we move beyond symptom management alone and develop a deeper understanding of what may be driving those symptoms. My goal is to help clients gain insight into their health, identify opportunities for healing and growth, and create a personalized treatment plan that supports both symptom relief and long-term wellness.

I strive to provide compassionate, collaborative care in a supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to take an active role in their mental health journey.

Change is hard — especially when you’re carrying trauma, family stress, or just the weight of everything life throws at you. I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or like they’ve lost themselves somewhere along the way.
