"I am adept with teens, young adults and veterans facing career transitions and the pressures of early adulthood."
I provide a safe, client-centered and nonjudgmental space where you can unpack stressful and difficult experiences and work toward desired goals and outcomes.
My therapeutic approach is integrative, blending evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. Treatment plans address the specific needs and objectives of clients, ensuring they receive individualized care.
In addition to individual therapy, I also lead group therapy sessions that foster a sense of community and mutual support among participants. These group sessions cover a range of topics, from coping strategies for PTSD to effective communication skills within families. By providing a collaborative environment, clients can share their experiences and learn from one another, promoting collective healing and growth.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Emory University. I bring over 8 years of clinical experience, including 4 years in medical nursing and 4 years in mental health care across inpatient, emergency, and outpatient settings.I also served as a nurse in the U.S. military, where I cared for active-duty service members, veterans, and their families. This experience shaped a steady, grounded approach to care, especially in moments of stress, transition, or uncertainty.
My passion lies in supporting children, teens, and young adults navigate through daily life stressors via a collaborative and supportive therapeutic environment. I have an extensive background in working with individuals who feel overwhelmed or defined by their life stories, those navigating trauma, and individuals experiencing relationship issues, mood disorders, anxiety, and/or depression. When I am not counseling or doing assessments, you can catch me reading, journaling, listening to music, swimming, traveling/ visiting sanctuaries/endangered animals, and/or spending time with family and friends.
