I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who offers caring, evidence-based medication management across the lifespan. I focus on treating ADHD, PTSD, bipolar, depression, anxiety disorders, panic disorder and insomnia, and I work closely with each person to understand their unique experiences and goals. I believe mental health care should be supportive, never rushed or judgmental. My approach is patient-centered and practical. I take time to listen, explain your options, and include you in every treatment decision. Whether you are starting medication, making changes to your current plan, or seeking more balance and clarity, I want you to feel heard and empowered.

In our sessions, I create a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can feel safe sharing your experiences and concerns. During our first appointment, we’ll spend time getting to know each other, discussing what brought you in, reviewing your history, and clarifying your goals for treatment. I believe in moving at a pace that feels comfortable for you and making sure you feel heard and understood. If medication is part of your care, I’ll explain your options clearly and involve you in every decision so you feel informed and empowered. My goal is to help you feel more balanced, confident, and equipped to manage life’s challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all connected. In our work together, I help you identify unhelpful or negative thought patterns that may be contributing to anxiety, depression, stress, or other challenges. Once we recognize those patterns, we work on reframing them into more balanced, realistic thoughts and developing healthier coping strategies. I use CBT in a practical, goal-oriented way. That means we focus on specific concerns, build skills you can use in everyday life, and track progress over time. CBT can help you better manage overwhelming emotions, reduce anxious or depressive symptoms, improve problem-solving, and feel more in control of your reactions. My goal is to equip you with tools that empower you not just during our sessions, but long after.
