I am a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who provides medication management across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. I have experience treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, other mood disorders, trauma-related symptoms, irritability, impulse control concerns, behavioral issues, emotional dysregulation, psychotic disorders, and substance use disorders, as well as supporting individuals who are in recovery.

My background includes inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings and crisis intervention, allowing me to support individuals with both acute and ongoing mental health needs. I strive to create a supportive, respectful space where clients feel heard and understood. I also work with families and caregivers when appropriate to support continuity of care.

I am currently accepting new clients. You might feel stuck, overwhelmed, or carrying experiences that still affect how you think, feel, and show up in your relationships. Many of the people I work with—service members, veterans, and adults navigating stress, trauma, anxiety, or life transitions—feel like they have to handle it all alone. You don’t. Together, we’ll make sense of what’s weighing on you and help you feel more grounded, connected, and back in control.
