I love helping patients understand their conditions and guiding them through treatment options and preventive measures.

In addition to my hands-on experience, I've been involved in clinical research, helping to develop new treatments and ensure the safety and well-being of research participants.

Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

I became a healthcare provider because I’m passionate about helping people improve their mental and physical well-being. Seeing my patients gain confidence, find stability, and make progress in their journey keeps me motivated every day. My goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that empowers individuals to take control of their health and lead fulfilling lives.

For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Therapy is a safe space where you can express yourself without judgment and gain the tools to navigate life’s challenges. I strive to create a comfortable and supportive environment, meeting you where you are and working at a pace that feels right for you. Healing is a journey, and you don’t have to take it alone.

What should people thinking about working with you, know about you?

I am a compassionate and patient-centered Nurse Practitioner specializing in primary care and mental health. My expertise includes addiction medicine, mood disorders, anxiety, PTSD, and more. I focus on active listening, education, and collaboration to ensure that every patient feels heard, supported, and empowered to make informed decisions about their health.

How can you provide care remotely?

I provide remote care through secure telehealth platforms, offering convenient access to assessments, medication management, and therapy. My approach ensures a supportive and confidential space where patients can openly discuss their concerns, receive guidance, and work toward their mental health goals from the comfort of their homes.
