As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I believe every person deserves to be heard, understood, and treated as more than a diagnosis. I take the time to understand the whole person, considering the biological, psychological, social, and lifestyle factors that influence mental health. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, creating personalized treatment plans that support lasting wellness. My goal is to help you feel supported, empowered, and confident throughout your mental health journey.

GREAT TO MEET YOU!

Hello! I'm a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner providing medication management and psychiatric evaluations for adults. I work with people navigating anxiety, ADHD, and executive functioning challenges. My background includes intensive care, hospice, and psychiatric nursing, which taught me to listen carefully and understand the full picture.

Before becoming a provider, I built and ran multiple businesses, giving me a unique perspective and the ability to connect with executives, entrepreneurs, and startup founders. This firsthand insight into the pressures people face in demanding careers and how mental health impacts performance and decision-making.

Reaching out for help is an important step, and my goal is to make that process feel straightforward and collaborative.
